San Francisco, July 1.-THE
War Loan Organization OF the
Twelfth Federal Reserve District
has Just been advised that hereafter
War Savings Stamps may be con-
verified into Savings Certificates Of
500 and $1,000 denominations &C
cording to a new plan Of the say
ings Division Of the Z. :. Treasury
Department to afford greater con-
yenience in handling War Savings
Securities.
The development of the war saw
ings idea is one that has been urs-
ed for some time in order to attract
larger investments. The holder of
a sufficient number of thrift stamps
may now exchange them for a So
War Savings Stamp and in turn the
holder OF twenty OIL the - ai
Savings Stamps may convert them
into a 800 Savings Certificate or
the holder of the IS stamps may
turn them in for a $1,000 Savings
Certificate.
Conversion may be maze at all
first and second class postof1ces
and at all banks and trust compan-
les that have qualified as agents of
the second class. The Treasury
Savings Certificates are to be issued
In registered form and will bear the
names of the owners. They will
yield four per cent compounded
quarterly as do the War Savings
Stamps. The limit of the individ-
ual investment still remains at
$1,000.
