Thrift Stamps.

Thrift Stamps and War Savings
Stamps are on sale by practically al
business houses everywhere, also by
postmasters and rural carriers, city mai
carriers. school teachers, banks, etc.
The government does not advise the
buying of War Savings Stamps instead
of the usual savings accounts but to
buy them with money saved by some
form of self-denial. The average saving
of each individual in the United States
is estimated at $50 year. and IL $50
more could be saved through giving up
the non. essentials and buying Thrift
stamps, millions Of dollars would be
loaned to the government. Besides the
money realized from the investment,
a sacrifice of the non essential would
liberate labor and materials and mater
tally aid along industrial lines.
