1t is contrary to the regulations of
he Treasury Department for an au-
thOrized agent to dispose of stamps
in any way except by sale, and at the
price.
Many letters have been received at
National War-SaviHgs headquarters
from Merchants, State Directors and
other inquiring as to giving to Thrift
Stamps as bonuses with purchasers.
The following should be the attitude
taken with all requesting this priv
lege.
The Committee is extremely aUpre-
ciative of the spirit of helpfuiness
which has prompted many stores
throughout the country to visa 20 Of
fer Thrift Stamps as bonuses foi c3Sn
payments, etc.
The Treasury Department. regula
tons require that the War-Savings
Certificates be sold at their fixed Price
for cash. While it is not unlawful to
give away Thrift Stamps os bonuses,
the National Committee has consistent
~ requested that merchants DO not use
he Stamps for this purpose.
We would be extremely apprPci1-
ative, lowever, if you would be
me an authorised agent, and have
lamps on sale in your store. 1t
would be constant evidence of vour
patriotism and willingness, to help ;hc
Government.
Under date of February 2Utn, they
also advise as follows:
In Yesterdays bulletin it was stated
that WarSavings Stamps shol,l be
used as bonuses. This statement is
