SHOULD NOT TAKE
LIBERTY BOND IN
PAY FORPURCHASE
Practice Defeats Object of
Government in Urging
Thrift.
The praetlre of accepting Liberty
Bonds In neiiaxiee for . merchandise,
which la bo4p(r foHowed by corns
merchants, tends to defeat the pri
mary object of the sale of Liberty
Bonds.
The Tjfbertv Loan Committee of
New Bnirland statues that this prac
tice discourses thrift. Increases ex
penditures, and ideiwlves the govern
ment of lafoor and material needed for
war (purposes.
It has aleo pointed out that bonds
' exchanged for merchandise must In
I most cases Immediately b sold In the
I open market, -which tends to depress
I the market urlee of the Issue and
tnaltM It less easy to sell future 1s
f sues at the name rate of Interest.
The Liberty , Loan Committee of
1 New Enjrland. therefore, requests
I merchants who are offering to accept
7 Mbertv Bonds In exchanire for mer -1
chandiso carefully to consider the
practice art heroes that such offers
Will foe- withdrawn.
The novwnmcnt Is making a strong
effort to hare troTornment bonds ipur
rtiased for permanent Investment by
the people, who or 'umed to pay for
them out oi past or future savings.
Purchases thus - made provide funds
for the uses of the government and,
not beine expended for useable mer
chandise, also effect a conservation of
labor and material
The Secretary of Treasury writes to
the committee: "I hope that the
merchants of the country, upon a
more careful consideration of this
subject, will discontinue their efforts
of selllner merchandise ami taking
Liberty Bonds in paivment."

More Output per
Employe
Leading industrial' plant managers throughout
the country have found from experience that
Good Factory lighting often results in 15
more output per employe.
Think what this means for your industry, Mr.
Manager. A volume of production more than
one-seventh again as great as your present
output without a cent's increase in the payroll.
Good lighting also makes for better quality ,
and cuts down spoilage. In addition it elimi
nates ihe cause of 25 of the yearly accidents.
These benefits are convincing proof that good
factory lighting is an investment that soon
pays for itself .
