BOND SALESMEN
RECEIVE FINAL
INSTRUCTIONS
Advantages of Bond Purchas
ing Explained to Those Who
Will Launch Drive
Next Week.
Seven hundred Fourth Liberty
loan salesmen met at Chamber of
Commerce Thursday night for final
instructions preparatory to launch
ing the big loan drive next week
The workers were seated in conven
tion order with the names of cap
tains indicating the various divi
sions. Thomas C. Byrne, state chairman,
delivered an address in which he ex
pressed satisfaction with the organ
ization in Omaha.
Sam Burns, chairman, in his final
instructions called upon the sales
men to remember that people are
asked to lend, not to give, and that
in asking wage earners to , invest
a portion of their savings in gov
ernment war bonds it should be
pointed out that most of the money
would be spent in the United States.
Convincing Comparisons.
"He may argue that $4.25 a year
interest is small. To this it might
be said that there is a large profit
to the man who buys a Liberty
bond, (with stable value). It is the
only commodity. Shoes have ad
vanced from $1.50 to $3.00; and
overalls that they used to pay 50c
for are uw $1.50.
"Consequently, if the argument is
reduced to overalls today they can
buy a $100 Liberty bond to 66 pairs
of overalls; and in our or five
years, when conditions are normal,
he will be able to get 200 pairs of
overalls with his bond. The $100
he puts into a bond today (in addi
tion to the interest it draws) will
buy about $300 worth oj anything
after the war is over.
T. L. Davis, vice chairman, called
attention to some s; ecial features of
after the war is over."
Features Described.
Purpose The money received
from this loan is for the support
of the men in service, the continu
ance of the war. There is no divi
dend sentiment in regard to the
purpose of the issue.
Security This jond is an absolute
contract of the United States gov
ernment with the purchaser to pay
a fixed amount of money when due,
and in addition, to pay semi-annual
interest. This contract is backed by
100,000,000 people, pledging their
fa'rth, credit and resources.
Rate A fair interest return for
government bonds under normal
conditions ranges from 2 per cent
to 3 per cent. The present rate of
4J4 per cent shows the high yield
available to investors.
Profit United States government
bonds just prior to the war sold on
a 2)4 per cent interest income basis.
The first 3's would sell at
$108.66 to yield 2i per cent inter
est return.
The second 4's would sell at
$109.90 to yield 2 per cent inter
est return.
The third 4!4's would sell at
$113.04 td yield 2 per cent inter
est returns.
Marketability These bonds have
cash value every day, and are rec
ognized as standard collateral.
Tax Exempt Tax exempt from
all personal taxes and practically
exempt from income taxes.
