 Every War Stamp you buy is a deciding factor in the winning of the war. Every day you that you fail to buy a Thrift Stamp or a W. s. s. means that the war will last just that much longer and mean the sacrifice of many other American lives. How can you spend your money for 1uxuries and unnecessary things when the needs of your government are so vital.
 Why do you hesitate to lend your money to the government of which you are part; and to an institution builded upon such a bed rock of strength and hon. or and integrity.
 It is as much benefit to you as it is to your government when you buy War Savings Stamp. Money saved is money earned. The purchase of War Savings Stamps is the best and strongest and most profitable investment you could possible make, and in buying them you are doing something to help win the war.
