War; Savings Stamps

In offering "War Savings Stamps"
to the public the United States Gov
ernment has made Immediately avail
able for every man, woman, and child
in the Country, profitable, simple,
and secure investment.
What They Are. -
War Savings Stamps are the answer
of a great democracy to the demand
for a democratic form of government
security. They are ''little baby
bonds" Like Liberty Bonds, they
have behind them the entire resour-
ces of the Government and people Of
the United States. They have the
additional advantage that they stead
lily increase in value from the date Of
purchase until the date of maturity,
and this increase is guaranteed by the
Government. These stamps are is
sued in two denominations, the 25-
cent stamp and the SIS 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 SIS
stamp at post offices, banks or other
authorized agencies by adding II
cents in cash prior to February /,
1918, and / cent additional each
month thereafter.
Those who prefer may buy IS
outright. These will be on sale from
December 3, 1917, until January 81,
1918, for $4.12. They automatically
increase in value cent month ev-
cry month thereafter until January
l, 1923, when the United States will
pay IS at any post office or at the
Treasury in Washington for each
stamp affixed to a War-Saving Ger
tificate.
When you purchase a IS stamp,
you must attach it to an engraved
folder known as "War Savings Ger
tificate," which bears the name of
the purchaser and can be cashed on
ly by the person whose name appears
upon the certificate, except in case
of death or disability. This certifi-
cate contains 20 spaces. If these are
filled with War Savings Stamps be-
tween December 3, 1917, and Janu-
ary 81, 1918, the cost to the pur-
chaser will be $82.40, and on Janu-
ary l, 1923, the Government will pay
the owner Of the certificate 800
