Uncle Sam wants his people to
make thrift and saving-taught by the
war--a permanent habit. To popu-
larize wise spending, intelligent saw
ing. and safe investment. the United
states Treasury and the Department
OF Agriculture have prepared series
OF leaflets which tell how to distribute
incomes in what economists consider
the best way. For the small family or
the large, the message on these leaflets
is expected to prove helpful.
The result desired is that the
American people shall spend freely,
but think before they spend in order
that they may get full values. These
leaflets teach that wise spending in
wolves weighing present needs and de-
sres against future needs and de-
sires, while intelligent saving and in
,estment provide for future spend
ing, whether to cope with rainy day
emergencies or to take advantages Of
sunny opportunities. Practice of
these principles will make for family
stability. increase individual credit
and buying power and directly
contribute to community and national
wealth and prosperity.
