VICTORY BONDS
AND INFLATION
A ruinous inflation could do as
much damage to our country as
an invasion. The danger of inva
sion happily is past. The danger
of inflation is not. That’s why,
even though the war is over and
the Victory won, we are having
another bond drive.
To the millions of our men and
women in uniform, who have be
gun the transition to civilian life,
we owe a deep obligation in the
matter of protecting them from
an inflation that might easily nul
lify the rewards of the victory
they so nobly achieved.
As a practical bulwark against
the tide of inflation, the Govern
ment is offering bonds for the
Victory Loan, the final bond drive.
By putting your money into
these bonds, and hanging on to
them as well as to those you al
ready have bought, you will aid
in the process of orderly recon
version and protcet the men and
women coming back from the
wars.—Sam Goldwyn.
It is estimated that two and a
half million families in the United
States made no effort to save or
salvage waste paper.

American Loan
To Britain
WASHINGTON. Dec. 7—(/P)—
Former State Secy. Hull endorsed

a step building the world peace.
The Hull statement declared the

million dollar loan, and Britain’s
agreement to work for freer in
ternational trade “our country is
taking another long step forward
to build a better world by profit
ing from the bitter lessons in the
past.”

A TORQUE CONVERTER TRACTOR
HD-14-C
Tried, tested, proved on a variety of jobs during the war years, the new Allis
Chalmers HD-14-C Diesel Tractor is now ready to increase your production, cut
your operating cost. A new power drive—Torque Converter—gives the HD-14-C out
standing advantages over standard tractors:
MORE WORK is accomplished because horsepower output of engine is
held near maximum. This means higher average working speeds, more
loads moved per day.
LONGER TRACTOR LIFE is assured by the cushion effect of convertor
when master clutch is engaged. This eliminates shock, greatly reduces
breakage and wear.
LONGER LIFE OF EQUIPMENT PULLED OR PUSHED is the natural
result of gradual acceleration and even application of power.
SMOOTHER OPERATION . . . LESS GEAR SHIFTING means greater
operator comfort, more work done. Tractor operates in each speed with
out stalling. An overload can pull it to a standstill ... but engine can
not be stalled.
You will want to investigate these any many other advantages of this new-type
money-making Diesel tractor.
