Savings Stamps
The War Savings Organization
Looking for Best Agencies

Washington. 4april mo onetary
habits OF groups OF people in various
industries and employments are the
subjects Of study by the National War
Savings organization with Il view Of
determining the best places and the
best times to sell savings stamps. This
is prompted by the reversal Of last
years policy Of giving an agency to
practically every store which would
handle the stamps and adoption OF 4
new plan 10 select carefully few
stores as agencies on condition that
these make active efforts to push the
sale of the stamps. Thus the organ
ization hopes to make the agency
privilege q real distinction in each
community.
To this e.d. the war savings organ
ization has undertaken to answer such
questions as these:
Are people in a certain industry or
locality most likely to buy stamps
from their grocery stores or from Il
drug store which is open at night!
Are restaurants and candy stores
effective agencies?
What sort of store in Il small city
is most likely to attract buyers after
the postoffice is closed?
II department stores are made
agencies to reach women, in what de-
partncnt or in what aisle location
should the stamp-selling booth be To-
Gated?
What sort of stores are best thrift
stamp agencies for children?
What kind of down town stores are
best agents for men.
ut is realized, Of course says a
uar savings statement. that banks,
building loan associations. and such
agencies TO which people naturally
go with money are excellent 81
agents, and school houses are admir-
able selling points for children. But
the savings directors want to make
certain that adults in residential ana
Industrial neighhorhoods can secure
stamps conveniently at the hours best
suited to them and in connection
with their usual trading. activities.
THE number and location of asen-
ciea per thousand Of population is be-
ing carefully considered rs the treas
