INVESTING IN WAR^AVINGS a STAMPS IS SAFE SAFE AS 1 INVESTING IN BONDS jC Very few people have ever stopped) Lo consider why real estate is re- ? garded as the best security on earth. ^ H. H. Woodward, of Conway, S. C., has given a very convincing idea on J the subject, and it is so brief and u dear that the war savings committee ieems it worthy of wide publication: "Real estate has been regarded as 3 the best security a man can have. Why is real estate safe? Only be- 3 muse the government is safe! If the government fails the title to land 0 II _ I 11 1 I.A.. L XI L?ii?f ana uie rem eauite | aroes with it. All legal documents are| affective only because the government b stands behind them. A war savings b ?tamp is therefore just as safe se- 3 :urity as land can ever be. By inzesting in these stamps you loan your s money to the government and thus t( lid it in winning the war; which, if we lose, all is gone, including land. 3 Are you a patriotic citizen, a loyal v member of your free and democratic government, or are you a slacker who 1 is unwilling to help? If you are willing to lend your money to the governmen at a good rate of interest you will invest in war savings and thrift * ittmps to the greatest extent that e yon are able."
