STAMP CONVERSION
IS NOW AUTHORIZED
Treasury Department Offers Through
Banks and Post ofsiess Savings
Certificates In lasos oenor-
inatioHI

Richmond, vs.-Ths War Losa Or.
sanisatfoo of the Fifth Federal Re
serve District has besn advised thae
hereafter War Savings Stamps may
be converted into Treasury Savings
Certificates OF 500 and $1,000 demons
nations according to's new plan OF tAs
United States Treasury Department
to afford greater convenience TO hold
srs and purchasers Of War SAVINGS
and Thrift Seamps.
The development OF the savings ida
is one that has been urged for some
time In order to attract larger invest
ments. The holder of a sufficient
number OF Thrift Stamps may now ex.
change them for a IS War Savings
Stamp and in turn the holder OF
twenty Of the IS War Savings Stamps
may convert them into 800 Savings
Certificate. or the holder OF two hun
dred Of the S. stamps may in. turn
turn them in for $1,000 Saving Ger
tificats. q.
Conversion may be made at all first
and second class postoffices and at ali
incorporated banks and trust COM
panies that have qualified As agents OF
the second class. The Treasury Saw
ings Certificate will be issued in reg
istered form and will bear the name
OF the owners. They will yield four
per cent compounded quarterly as do
the War Savings Stamps. The limit
OF the individual investment for the
1919 series Of stamps still remains at
81 900.
The new Treasury Savings \Certifl-
Gates should prove particularly at
tractive for the investment OF the
funds OF fraternal societies. labor un-
ions and other civic. social and rell-
gious organizations because the inter
est is added to the principal automat-
ically each quarter the entire amount
being payable at maturity.
