Victory Liberty Loan
A fifth bond issue relating to World War I was released on April 21, 1919. Consisting of $4.5 billion dollars of gold notes at 4.75% interest, they were convertible in 3 or 4 years. Exempt from all income taxes, they were called at the time "the last of the series of five Liberty Loans." However they were also called the "Victory Liberty Loan," and appear this way on posters of the period. WWI Liberty Bonds

Famous quotes containing the words victory, liberty and/or loan:
“One point in my public life: I did all I could for the reform of the civil service, for the building up of the South, for a sound currency, etc., etc., but I never forgot my party.... I knew that all good measures would suffer if my Administration was followed by the defeat of my party. Result, a great victory in 1880. Executive and legislature both completely Republican.”
—Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
“The god who gave us life, gave us liberty at the same time: the hand of force may destroy, but cannot disjoin them.”
—Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826)
“Neither a borrower nor a lender be,
For loan oft loses both itself and friend,
And borrowing dulls the edge of husbandry.
This above all: to thine own self be true,
And it must follow, as the night the day,
Thou canst not then be false to any man.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
