BANKS TO SAFEGUARD
BONDS AND STAMPS
Are Ready TO Protect Securities OF
Small Investors Free or For
Nominal Charge.

In buying Liberty Bonds, Victory
Bonds, Thrift and War Savings
Stamps the people Of the United
States have done more than perform
patriotic duty -they have invested
in the soundest securities in the
world. gold obligations of the Unit
ed States of America.
But the safeguarding of these Sc
curities has become problem fol
many folk. Only few persons, rel
utively, have either safe IN the
house or Office, or a safe-deposit box
in the vaults of the bank. Far 90
many patriotic citizens are keeping
bonds and stamps about the house IN
the bureau drawer. under the mat
tress, or on the shelf And even il
the treasure is thus hidden from
thieves, there is the ever present dan
ger Of fire, and the loss Of the money
invested.
There may be no further call for
the people at large to subscribe to
huge bond issues, but the govern
ment needs the daily and weekly
sums which come in from the sale
Of Thrift and War Savings Stamps
for taxes must be kept down. The
danger Of loss has deferred some peo-
pc from gettii.r as many stamps as
they might otherwise buy. Hence the
problem will be future question as
well as present one.
Steps have been taken, however, to
meet this situation.
First, every bond or stamp certlti-
cate may be registered with the
Treasury Department. Registration
means that the owners name and the
number Of his security have been
registered by the government, and
that nobody but himself can pos
ably get the money which the bond
or stamp certificate calls for. Ger
tifcates may be registered through
the nearest postoffice; bonds through
the nearest bank
And the second method for safe
guarding has been provided by the
banks themselves. Every bank-na-
tional bank or savings bank and ev-
cry trust company has, Of course,
ample and secure vaults. For the man
who does not feel that he can afford
to rent a safe deposit box to keep
Liberty Bonds and War Savings
Stamp, in, many of the banks and
trust companies have announced their
willingness to keep these securities
for him in their own vaults.
