War-Savings Stamps
Now On Sale Here

The war-saving stamps which
went on sale at the local postoffice
December 3 met with ready re-
sponse from the opening date. The
postoffice crew has been doing a
landoffice business, as has the rural
carriers, who are equipped to answer
the demands of the public on their
routes. The local banks received
their initial supply of stamps, thrift
cards" and "war-saving certificates"
Friday, which are now at the dis
posal of any who wish to invest.
AS has already been stated, these
war-saving stamps are the answer of
a great democracy to the demand for
a democratic form Of government Sc
curity. They steadily increase in
value from the date of purchase until
the date of maturity, and this in
crease is guaranteed by the govern
ment. These stamps are issued in
two denominations, the 2j-cent
stamp and the IS stamp.
For the convenience of investors a
thrift card" is furnished to all pur-
chasers Of 25-cent stamps. This
card has spaces for 16 stamps.
When all the spaces have been filled
the thrift card may be exchanged for
IS stamp by adding - cents in
cash prior to February /. 1918, and
l cent additional each month there
after.
Those who prefer may buy a IS
stamp outright. These will be on
sale from December 3, 1917, until
January 1, 1918, for S4.12. They
automatically increase in value a
cent a month every month thereafter
until January 1, 1923, when the
United States will pay s5 at any post
office or at the treasury in Wash
ington for each stamp affixed to a
war-saving certificate.
When you purchase S. stamp
you must attach it to an engraved
folder known as a "war-savings cer-
tificate," which bears the name of
the purchaser and can be cashed
only by the name Of the person whose
name appears upon the certificate.
This certificate contains 20 spaces.
If these are all filled with war-sav-
ing stamps between December 8,
1917, and January 81, 1918, the cost
to the purchaser will be $22.4O, and
on January 1, 1928, the government
will pay the owner of the certificate
