LEND,

In asking people to invest
in War Savings Stamps, the
Government IL not asking
them to contribute money.
It is merely asking for the
use Of money, and willing to
pay literally for 1t.
The Government simply
wishes to employ your money
and pay for its services Just
as it would employ you and
pay you for your services.
You will get your money
back with interest - com
pound interest at the rate Of
4 per cent per annum. The
stamps mature in five years,
but you can cash them any
time you wish before the
date Of maturity and still get
interest-at three per cent.
II you need the services Of
your money before five years,
the savings stamp handed to
the postmaster will be tho
letter Of resignation, and
you'll get your money back
with additional payment for
the time the Government has
used it.
There Is no red tape, no
bother, no uncertainty, no
worry. It Is tho simplest,
safest, and most satisfactory
investment you can make.
