New Treasury Savings Certificates.

Postmaster Buckley announces
that he has received the new series
of Treasury Savings Certificates
which have been adopted. by the
United States Treasury department.
They are issued in three units of
$25, 800, and $1,000 maturity value.
The first bears the portrait Of Theo-
dore Roosevelt, the second the por-
trait of George Washington and the
third the portrait of Abraham Lin
coin. They are rather different in
form from the certificates which
have previously been issued by the
Treasury department and contain
many features which will be of inter-
est to our readers. Postmaster
Buckley will be glad to supply any
of his patrons with these certificates,
or will give them detailed informa-
tion as to the conditions under which
they are sold.
The United States Treasury de-
partment. keeping in mind the well
fare of the people from an economic
standpoint, will furnish these certifi-
Gates at prices which will net the in
vestor Az per cent. compounded
semi-annually. They mature in five
years from the date of issue, and are
sold at the following prices:
$50 for the $25 maturity value cer-
tifcate.
$50 for the $1OO maturity value
certificate.
$500 for the $1,000 maturity value
certificate.
There is provision made, at guar
anteed values, for the redemption of
these certificates before maturitv il
desired, in which case the holder re-

his investment.
the United States Treasury depart
ment and are therefore loss-proof,
burglar-p proof and fire-proof.
An advantage which is exceptional
among investment securities. is the
fact that these certificates automat-
ically increase in value every month
during the time that they are held,
and as both principal and interest is
guaranteed bv the United States
government. the investor is absolute
ly sure that not only has his invest
ment been made at minimum price,
but that at such time as he may de-
sire he can receive back his princi-
-al and interest.
Other advantages which these GER
tificates enjov are that thew are prac-
ticallv tax exempt; that the amount
of money invested in any one year
by an individual has been increased
from $1,000 limit to $4,000. and
that postal savings may be exchang-
ed for Treasury Savings Certificates
at the pleasure of the owner, who
will thus obtain substantial in
crease in the rate of interest.
Postmaster Buckley suggests that
Treasury Savings Certificates will
make verv desirable Christmas pres
ents. or if the price is bevond the
reach of the pocketboolSs of any of
his patrons. he will be plad TO open
Postal Savings accounts for them in
amounts from 81 up. thus giving
the owner a start toward saving and
an incentive to- increase these ac-
counts to-a point where thew may be
exchanged for Treasury Savings GER
tificates.
The reduced interest rate on COM
mercial obliqations and the gradual
increase in the price of Liberty Bonds
on the market should make Treasury
Savings Certificates verv attrac-
tive investment during 1922.
There is no doubt as to the eco
nomic value of the work which the
government is doing in this respect,
and we feel that investment in Treas
urv Savinrs Certificates leads to in
dividual independence as well as to
better tyne of citizenship. y
