Symbolic-- Printing 2.0500,000 Coples--~(re- dit fo All Concerned. One of the most highly techmicsl processes of manufacture in Canadd is that of bank note making Skill of the highest order must be em- ployed not only to turn out a credit- able and attractive note, but to in- sure that every precaution is taken to 'render the operation of eounter- feiting practically impossible. The American Bank Note Ceo., Ottawa, which Is engaged in producing Can- pda's 1918 Vietory Bonds, has done an excellent job in turning out the pretty paper rectangles which mean £0 much In connection with our war finances during the coming year. It has achieved a distinct success both in design and execution of a most difficult operation. The general design of the new bonds is distinetly Canadian. We ee at the top centre a scene which illustrates one of the important purposes of the new loan. The scene represents an ocean vessel at the dock loading produgts for Great Britain and her Allles. On the face of the coupon is a fine reproduction of Bernard Partridge"s famous drawing, "Canada at Ypres" Making 2.500.000 Bonds. The number of bonds being print- ed is 2.600.000, which is an increase over a year ™ ago when 1,800,000 were run off the presses. There are but two periods, five asd fifteen years Last year there were five, ten and twenty-year bonds. The bonds are . of 'four denominations. The $50 bonds are printed in blue; the $100 in green; the $500 in olive and the $1,000 in brown. The size 18 about half that of last year. Between 250 and 300 people are engaged in the work. The whole operation requires about. three months When the bonds finally get to the presses extra carelin the checking 'must be taken to prevent "leaking" and everything must bal- ance before any of the employces are allowed fo leave the ilding. After printing, the bonds dre plac- 6d in steel boxes and delivered to the Finance Department at the rate of 30,000 a day. The whole operation of turning cut the Vietory Bonds reflects the highest credit of all concerned.

If is generally conceded by { clal-authorities that within the known as the investing public 'is a substantial proportion whose sums of money available for invest ment run from $5,000 to $25,000 To that class of investor teen.year Victory Bond provided for in the next issue should prove par- tieularly attractive Not only is it 80 by reason of its gilt-edged charac- ter, but plus this is the 6 1-2 per cent, rate of interest that it yields, which, on an investment of $25,000, gives the holder the nice little sum of $1,375 annnally,--and free from taxation at that The United States Liberty Loan, on the other hand, would on a like investment, yield but $1,062, or $313 a year less From the combined standpoint of stability and yield, the fifteen-year Victory Bond will rank as the best Government security in the world The fact that trust companies have their eye upon it as a preferential in- vestment is one of the strong proofs of its attractiveness. And then an- other fact to be taken into considera- tion is that both actually and rela- tively the issue will steadily appre- ciate in market value as time passes But, aside altogether from the in trinsic value of the second Victory Loan, and particularly the fifteen- year maturity, as an there is a definite and direct call to the men who ean command five to twenty-five thousand dollars to sub- seribe to it As a matter of fact, it fs the opinion among the highest financial authorities in the Domin- fon 'who have given particular atten- tion-to the study of the subject, that if the Minister of Finance is to se- cure the much-desired and much- needed half a billion dollars, a great deal will depend upon the response of Investors in this five to twenty- five thousand dollar group of inves- tors There is no sacrifice about it The fact that the security is gilt- edged and the yield generous, pre- ¢ludes such an interpretation Men are not sacrificing when they are buying margins, whether they be merchandise or bonds. But whether there ig an element of sacrifice or not, there is entailed an element of patriotism. Whether the war ceases this year, or next, Canada neéds every dollar of the half billion which the Minister of Finance geeks. If this qguntry is to fulfil its part in the str le, and perform its duty towards the Canadian lads who are sacrificing their .lives at the front, And the desideratum can be secured if the men with $5,000 to $25,000 to invest do their part. in Canadg's finan- there the Mr. and Mrs. R.
