BILLIONS FROM THE NlckELs
Ever Stop to Think Of Vast Sums That
Can BE Saved From Small
Amounts7

Ii every person in the United States
saved d nickel in one day 1t would
mean that at night the people would
be just five million dollars richer. And
then suppose the people kept this up
for one month? 1t would mean that
at the end Of thirty days they would
have saved one hundred and fifty mil.
lion dollars. =
Why not keep II up for the rest Of
1919? What would be the result? One
billion five hundred. million dollars.
Sounds like lot of work for one little
nickel to do, doesn't 1t. yet there are
scores of industries in the United
States which are paying big dividends
on the little nickels gathered day by
day.
This Immense sum II invested in
War Savings Stamps would earn for
the savers approximately sixty-four
million dollars in 1920-the work Of
"old man interest" who never takes
day off and who is continuously on
the job.

WOMAN FOLLOWS SAFE PLAN
eavss and Buys and Holds Her Invest.
msnts-Estate Grows by Accu-
nulatlno Safe Bonds.

This Is the story Of Miss Mary F..
Hallam, who for forty-five years pre-
ceding her death worked in a Chicago
department store:
When Miss Hallam began to earn
her living she had the same qualifica-
lions for success that everyone has
average health and average intelli-
gence. Capital she had none. But
she had something else as good If not
better-an appreciation Of the advan.
tages of thrift and an answering am
bition to succeed.
Department-s+ore salaries are not
generally regarded as the best stepping
stones toward prosperity. Yet Miss
Hallam prospered. She saved a part
OF her wages each week and invested
them well. She never speculated. She
put her money only into such invest
ments as would yield a sure interest
return. Upon her death she left an
estate valued at $4,000.
Had Miss Hallam, during the earlier
years Of her progress toward pros
perity, had the advantage of investing
in Liberty bonds. her pace would have
been still more rapid. In her younger
days there We're no government bonds
available. In order to be sure that
her investments were safe she care
fully studied the investment field and
accepted comparatively low rate OF
interest But she succeeded in spite
Ut that.
American men and women, starting
out today, have great advantage.
The war has for the FIRST time since
1865 made government bonds of the
Quilted States available to the small
investor. Before 1917 the small gov.
eminent issues were snapped up ny
the banks for their own special uses.
But now Liberty bonds may he hongh.
by everyone and at a higher rate nj
Interest than would ever have beer
possible had II not been for the war
The government soon will offer To
the people one more chance to partici.
pate in q great loan. BY that time
the nation will have contracted y float,
ing debt of more than s5O0n,GOO.OO
which must be provided for.
Miss Hallam's story shows that any
body can save and accumulate. Ant
common sense shows that evervbod,
who is saving can find no investment
! quite as good as Uncle Sans Victor,
Liberty bonds.
