PLAN TO HELP ALL
SAVEF0RF FUTURE
Seventh District Starts System
With Banks to Aid Invest
ment in Savings
Certificates.

50 TO- Ill pun Nh'Ni %
calculated to give a big impetus TO IN
vestment in the 500 and $1,000 Treas
ury Savings certificates, which always
are worth more than you paid for
them, is being put into effect by the
Government Savings organization Of
the Seventh Federal Reserve District.
This system enables the saver who
wishes to invest I'm sound securities
TO do so on the installment plan as
was done in the purchase of Liberty
Loan bonds. Payments may be made
on a weekly, semi-monthly or monthly
basis, the minimum payments being
50, 81 and So respectively. The in
vest0r enters into a contract with a
bank, to which he makes his partial
payments. Under this agreement the
bank deposits as a nest egg for the
investor one dollar for each 500 GER
tificate purchased from the bank.
1--WE have found" said w. B. Bos-
worth, executive secretary of the
Seventh District Savings organization,
NAoI NACAt oAC htoI vi pCpltC
who would like to put their money in
these Treasury Savings certificates
who cannot afford to part with enough
to pay for q 500 certificate in a sin
gle payment, so the organization Of
this district devised a partial payment
plan, which was submitted TO the
Treasury Department at Washington
and has received the official sanction
Of the Savings Division, headed by
William Mather Lewis.
"The investor is thus enabled to pur-
chase these Savings certificates on the
installment plan and the certificates
completed his payments. The bank
with which he does business also de-
pOSits to his credit in the bank One
dollar as a savings account for each
500 certificate purchased. We feel
that this partial payment system will
enable many thousands to invest in
these Government securities who other
wise would not be able TO do so. 1t
also will mean in many cases the
starting of bank savings accounts.
The safety of these securities is a
feature that should not be lost sight
of. Being registered, they are insured
against loss through theft or fire. II
one eve needs the money the certifi-
Gates are redeemable, beginning with
the second calendar month after the
month of purchase without the ten
days demand required by the terms of
tie 1919 Savings securities"
