Full title: "The Ninth National Bank of the City of New York, Agent for the United States Treasury, asks attention to the following Interesting Questions and Answers Relative to the 7--30 U.S. Loan." Broadside says that 9th National Bank has been appointed by the Secretary of Treasury and Jay Cooke, a special Treasury agent, to dispose of the "Only Popular Loan now offered for sale by the Government." The Broadside is meant to educate the public on the terms of the loan and is done so in a question and answer mode. For example: "2d Question - When and how can they [loans] be obtained?" "Answer - They are for sale, at Par, and accrued interest, at our Banking House, 363 Broadway, corner of Franklin street, New York." Altogether there are 10 questions.
