IN the shape OF unredeemed stamps IL the
proportion stated by Mr.. Sperry Is correct
ana Tor the other $1,000 they supply the

Ihese calculations are based on the ex-
traordinary statement of Mr.. Sperry that
not one In ten ever keep the stamps to-
sether until they get the number necessary

involved would be affected IL the number of
stamps redeemed was inaccurately stated.
