SAVING CERTIFICATES
SUCCESS IN DISTRICT

individuals Fino mem ioeai
For Investment.
That the 500 and $1,000 Treasury
Savings Certificates are meeting
with unqualified success In the Third
Federal District is evidenced by a
report recently issued by the Federal
Reserve Bank. 1t is shown that since
the issuance of the new form Of Sc
curity over $50 of the $1,000 and e
1000 of the 500 Treasury Savings
Certificates have been purchased by
fine thrifty people of this district.
Banking institutions were among
the first to recognize the desirabillty
of the government securities n
MANY of them are carrying a cert1n-
cate registered in the name OF the
bank. Others have a limited guam
titv on hand for resale to the public.
$50 fraternal organizations have avail
ed themselves of the opportunity to
invest part of their funds in these
securities for they realize that If the
occasion arises the certificates a
be redeemed on ten days notice at

Since the Treasury Savings Certi-
fcates were placed IN sale, the by
monthly reports of per capita sales
show an increase from $50 to $.S4
for the district. During this period
the percapita sales of Southern New
Jersey have advanced from S.67 to
S.84 while Delaware has increased her
sales from $.2S per capita on July
18th to $.33 per capita today. The
forty-eight counties of Eastern Penn
~sylvania nave increases from $.63 to
S.SS per capita and Philadelphia has
jumped from $.73 to $1.O1.
1t is surprising how quickly small
amounts saved Systematically INT IN
vested at a fair rate of interest In
crease until one has saved a consid-
cradle sum. An illustration which
comes to mind, is the case OF a mar
in one of our rural communities who
had built himself a home, but owing
to his limited funds, was unable to
complete the house according to ms
plan. When government Savings
Stamps were first issued in 1917, this
man became a regular purchaser, in
vesting a certain sum in Thrift
Stamps each week.
A few days ago he went to his post
master and presented $500. (ma-
turity value) worth of 1918 V
ment Savings Stamps and said he
would like to have $500 in cash, which
he wanted to use to have a bathroom
built in his home. The other $33 I'll
have in 1919 Stamps" he said, "and |
would like to have this Certificate
with IL Government Savings Stamps
and the eight new stamps exchanged
for one of those new Treasury Saw
ings Certificates of 500 maturity val
ue."
That man knows the value OF saw
ing and the fact that he redeemed
his stamps to pay for a bath room in
his home, makes him a better citizen.
He feels that he must advance and in
doing so he will remember the govern
ment offers him advancement in the
absolutely safe security Of Treasury
Savings Certificates.
The upbuilding of a great body of
investors is an undertaking which has
deep significance to the institutions OF
