BUY STAMPS AT ONCE;
CHANCE MAY VANISH

''This war savings stamp campaign.
II continued, will roll up war savings
like a SNOWFALL" says Harrison r.
Riley, federaT ldirector, in advising
the campaign workers of Oklahoma.
"At the enuoot the year people will
seek war savings stamps and certih-
Gates and find them not"
The issue of war savings stamps
ia limited to $4,000, 100000. Okla.
homa's share of this amount is $47,.
100000. The fact that the stamps pay
per cent interest compounded quar-
terly, and that they may be turned
into cash at any time, makes them
the most desirable form of investment
ever offered by the government to the
people.
The two features Of this campaign
should not be forgotten. You loan
your money to the government to
help win the war. At the same time
you establish for yourself a fund
which will grow and become thrifty
In SO doing,
u
