ernment has provided us with what
seems to me to be an opportunity
10 make Just the right kind Of
small Christmas gifts. Their use
for that purpose accomplished three
important objects:
1. II helps the government in its
financing;
?. It leaves in a safe place the
gold which is so generously used in
ordinary times at this season; and
3. II inculcates in those to whom
the stamps are given the idea OF
saving.
War Savings Stamps can be pur-
chased for sii2 each, redeemable
at $500 on January 1, 1923, the diff
ference amounting to per cent in
terest Thrift Stamps are 25c each,
and with the first one a card is fur
nlshed. holding sixteen. When the
card is filled IL may be EXCHANGED
for a War Savings Stamp by the
payment of i2c on or before Janu-
airy 81, 1918; in each successive
month during the year 1918, one
cent is added TO the cost OF eN-
change.
The effect in Great Britain Of this
method Of financing has been very
satisfactory, and ! sincerely hope
that YOU will use your efforts TO
bring about the same result in our
own country.
These stamps may be purchased
at any postoffloe. bank, trust COM
pany or selling agency in the United
states.
