TREASURY. SAVINGS
 CERTIFICATES NOW ON SALE

United States treasury savings cer- .tihcates in $100 and $1,000 denomina- tions, maturity value, are now avail able for purchase, according to let ter that Mrs. F. l.. Higginson,t gov ernment director of savings for the First Federal Reserve District, today sent to 6o,000 New England resi- dents, mostly on the farms. The 1920 certificates make very fine Secur- ity to hold, not only because of their sound investment value but also because of their attractive appear ance, somewhat resembling a bond.
 'Tn these certificates writes Mrs. Higginson, there have been em- bodied, we believe, all of the desira- ble features of the highest grade in- vestment, and there are many lines of appeal. The security is the same as. the United States government bonds, being based on the entire faith and credit of the United States of America.
 "The $f00 treasury savings certi- ficates may be purchased during Feb ruary for only $S2.60, or for sS2.S0 in March. and the $1000 certificates for $s26 in February. or $S28 in March. These certificates mature on January l, 1895, paying interest at little more than 4 1-4 per cent. if held un- til maturity. Prior to maturity and after the second month from date oi issue, the owner may demand pay ment at a fixed redeemaible value which always is in excess of the amount paid.
 These certificates are exemp from the normal federal income ta7 and from all state and local taxes except estate and inheritance taxes To ObViate the possibility of loss the certificates are registered in tn, name of the purchaser In order tt obtain a wide distribution of these certificates in the hands of investors only $1.000 (maturity value) of treas ury savings certificates of 1920 car be held by one person at any onc 1 time
 This is a real and continuing op portunity for the investors of this country, and one that we believe hai not been fully appreciated. Nor . safe and profitable distribution O savings it shoue be used to tht | fullest extent ,'
