THRIFTY HOUSEWIFE
May HAVE LUXURIES
War Savings Stamps Furnish An
Easy Way to Obtain Money
for Convenlences.

Although family may not be
wealthy enough for the LADY of the
house to have all the little convent.
ences she wants, through Thrift and
War Savings Stamps the government
has provided a way for the housewife
to At up her kitchen. paint the house,
furnish her spare room or embellish
the parlor.
These women who were SO wise as
to begin saving systematically early
In 1918 have nice little sums invested
in War Savings Stamps by this time.
Eleven War Savings Stamps, some
of which cost as little as SAP apiece,
will buy a frst.class kitchen cabinet.
In many instances, the housewife
would not have saved anything to
speak Of, had 1t not been for the War
Savings Stamps.
Women are quick to grasp the bene'
Ats from habits OF thrift. Numerous
reports have been received at district
headquarters of the War Loan Organ
ization Of the Fifth Federal Reserve
District Of women who have started
In by putting quarters in Thrift
Stamps and who have been enabled
to buy desired articles to brighten
their homes.
As soon as War Savings Stamp Is
bought, 1t begins earning more
money. War Savings Stamps are
practically ready money. They are
redeemable with accrued interest at
the post office on ten days notice. but
the longer they are held, the more
money they make for their holders.

As PERMANENT INVESTMENT
Secretary Of Treasury Glass Shows
Values Of War Savings and
Asks for Cooperation.

Secretary Glass, In a recent inter.
view given at Washington, discussed
War Stamps az permanent invest.
ment as follows:
WAR Savings Stamps afford an ex.
cellent vehicle for increasing capital
and earning power Many persons
have not taken the War Savings
Stamps seriously as an investment
but the fact that they may be bought
in as large quantity as $1,000 face
value during 1919, at such favorable
interest return, makes them most de-
sirabls for the average man or family.
Definite plans for the continuance
OF the Issue in coming years OF small
Government securities are being work
ed out.
Although War Savings Stamps
sales this year do not approach the
high marks made under stimulation Of
war need last year, their absorption
by the public thus far has been salts.
factory.
Savings in all channels shrank dur
ing the early months of the year and
it is expected that War Savings Stamp
sales, along with postal savings and
savings bank deposits, will grow
steadily throughout the year.
Cooperation is sought earnestly In
the matter OF keeping Thrift and War
Savings Stamps on sale. so that no
one so inclined may fail to have oppor'
tunity to invest his money wisely"
