A Bit ol! Floanciai History.
The credit of the United Bilates was
so high and uoquestiopable that ip
1900, two years after the Spanish War,
2 per cent bonds were offered at par
and oversubscribed, This is a finan-
cial performance no other nation has
ever equalled,
Unpitea States 4 per cent bonds In
1888 sold s# high as 130 and in 1901
brought 135} on the stock market.
The United States has never defauit-
ed on any of its bonde. Not one of ils
bondholders has ever lost a cent of
principal or interest except those who
voluntarily have taken losses by sell-
ing their bonds in a period of tempo-
rary price depression. Ope hundred
cents on the dollar, principal and ip-
terest, has the United States always
paid®
Back of the $250,000,000,000 to $300,-
000,000,000 of our national resourses
stends the 1ugged honesty of America,
Liberty Loan Bonds are the safest se-
curity in the world.
