SMALL SAVING, MADE THROUGH
WAR SAVINGS STAMPS, WAS

o U SOLD OVER HEAD
Now Owns Homo and Il ls Worth
Considerably More Than He
Had Contracted to
Pay For It.

This true story tells how War Saw
ings Stamps built q sure protection
around one Washington var worker
and his himily.
Early In the War Savings campaign
he began a small systematic invest
ment in Thrift Stamps, which ulti.
mately grew until he had an invest
ment Of 800. He says he acquired
his stamps without depriving himself
or family. The investment lust grew
out OF incidental savings.
Presently this incidental money be-
came scarce. The war worker and
his family felt the burden OF the war
time high cost OF living, and the anx-
iety and expense Of extraordinary i'll
ness OF the two children. Then an
other blow fell. He awoke one morn
ing to find that he had no place TO
live.
His residence had been sold and he
and his family we're asked to yacate.
He could find no houses for rent with
~ hAo Mpdhog hAu wac SOuA OAbCu VIII
the necessity Of leaving the city or
buying a home for his family. He
could not buy without making a sub
stantial initial payment, and ready
funds we're seemingly beyond reach.
Then he thought OF his Val Say
ings Stamps. He remembered they
we're redeemable on ten daJs notice,
wthsaccrued interest. With the pro-
ceeds of these stamps and such small
sums as he could gather he made first
payment on a new home in the sub
urbs. Recently he refused to sell
1t for $1,000 more than the purchase
price.
This man is a War Savings Stamp
enthusiast-and he is on the straight
road to financial independence.
