WAR LOAN CERTIFICATES.
A MILLION AND A QUARTER
As will be seen by tho figures below there is still a steady demand by the public for War Loan Certificates, the total sales at the close of February having reached £1,269,863. It is evident that small investors and the patriotic public who desire to help forward the war are placing a certain amount ot their savings into the loan through this channel, and it cannot be too widely known that these certificates are still on sale. In addition to forming a very good investment for the five-yearly period of their currency, they are an excellent means by which everyone can assist in raising the money necessary to carry the great war to a successful termination. During the first week in February the sales amounted to £16,---837; during the second week to £14,---337; during the third week to £8747; and during the fourth week to £9139. The sales in the Wellington district are still very much greater than those in any other district of the Dominion, and have just reached the £300,000 mark. Following in order come' Christchurch and Dunedin, almost level, with Auckland not fffl-^bebind. Outeide the four centres, the Invercargill and Napier districts come next with an almost equal amount.
