Seven hundred dollars for S576.S0.

"When it is fair weather, take your
greatcoat with you." You can own a
War Savings Stamp. They cost from
25c. to $l.0o. Buy now and the future
will take care of itself. Better than

You may buy $1,000 worth, but no
more.
Thrift is winning the war. Are ycu

if every man. woman and child buys
his quota. Let your money work for
you, in War Savings Stamps.
