President G. II. Ruth. of the Marshall
OIL Company, considers the war saw
ings and thrift stamps an ideal way
for people with small means to save
money and at the same time do a pa
triotic duty. He says, in writing the
local ad club:
1T has been our practice for several
years to give each Of our lady en-
ployes a s. gold piece for Christmas.
Last year, however, we gave each OF
them one of the s. war savings stamp
and four Of the thrift stamps, Whit
gave them an even start towards one
Of the war savings certificates.
Since the stamps were put on the
market, we have sold TO our employees
nearly $500 worth, which we consider
a fair amount for the force we have
here.
The writer thinks this il an ideal
w%&y fer people With small means to
save a little money, and at the same
time do a patriotic duty in assisting
the government to realize a tremendous
amount Of money for the successful
prosecution Of the war"
