THRIFT TALK.


as result of the training which
they are receiving in Thrift instruc-
ton, the school children of Ohio have
saved an invested in over five and a
half million dollars worth of Govern
ment Thrift Stamps and War Savings
Stamps this year. The per CAPITA
savings among the school folks in
Ohio is $3.50.
Our own State has made a splen-
did record in the teaching of Thrift
in the schools since the beginning of
the Savings Campaign in 1918, our
school children have saved and in
vested over sixteen and a half mill
lion dollars in Thrift Stamps and
War Savings Stamps, and in every
school in the Eleventh Federal Re-
serve District of which our State is
a part, regular class room instruc-
ton is being given in Thrift and prac-
teal economy, which instruction in
cludes not only the saving of money
but the saving of time, clothing,
health, and the employment of all
those factors which tend toward per-
sonal efficiency. The instruction of
the student in thrift in the public
school is a great step forward and
every parent should sponsor this
work being done by the school teach
ers and the Government Savings Di-
vision.
If you want to get ahead-get a
head! The person who is saving
and investing his savings this day
and time in Government War Savings
Stamps and Thrift Stamps is show
ing that he has a head and knows
how to use it.
Fifteen dollar silk shirts won't
keep you warm this winter but they
will play heck with your bank &C
count. Better get a common-sense
shirt and put the difference in War
Savings Stamps where it will earn
four percent compounded,
It's Tot what you make but what
you save that counts. Are you gett-
ing ahead or slipping behind? War
Savings Stamps are pretty good nom
skid chains.
The boys and girls in the schools
here are members of Thrift Clubs
and are being taught about thrift by
their teachers. Every parent ought
to back-up this teaching to the very
limit, because thrift is the good man
agement of the business of living and
everybody should know something
about thrift. Thrift and War Saw
ings Stamps will introduce you to
thrift and induce you to save.
The Government is going to give
every one of the opportunity of buy
ing War Savings Stamps and Thrift
Stamps next year, but don't wait till
New Years Day to make that thrift
resolution Start buying your War
Saving Stamps now and be just that
much ahead.
War Savings Stamps, Thrift
Stamps now and be just that much
ahead.

War Savings Stamps and the new
Registered Treasury Savings Certi-
ficates, which can be obtained at any
bank or postoffice, make mighty good
Christmas gifts and they earn four
percent compounded besides.

Christmas present that will really

ury Savings Certificates. which can
