Help
Teacher
with this
goodw0rk

Teacher knows you want
your child to save-to save
for Victory.
She knows just how to
talk to your little ones so
they'll understand what
this Big War means.
And why even the little
they can save from the
small amount they have will
help some soldier to do his
bit in the fight. q.
Listen to your children
when they come home from
school and ask for pennies
to save for Thrift Stamps
the kind that teacher told
them about!
Give them the money
all you can spare-even if
q sacrifice - for you're
teaching a lesson of patri-
otic duty your child will
never forget.
You know what Thrift
Stamps are - these little
stamps that cost rs cents
each-just a quarter loaned
70 Uncle Sam.
When you have 16 of
these little stamps you can
get a bigger stamp, a War
Savings Stamp, by paying
IA cents Gin March,. You
see this bigger stamp has
really cost you S4.14, but it
pays you back Five Dollars
cash in 5 years.
It's not only fine patriot
ism, but the best sort Of
saving at the same time.
So, help your children to
get Thrift Stamps from
their teacher-and, remem-
Der, each school and every
teacher is trying to win a
banner for selling the most
stamps. That means help
ing most to win the war.
Buy Them at Stores, Postoffces.
