uary 1st, 1928, Postmaster E. B.
Williams announces that he will
accept them on and after November
18th in exchange for the new 4
per cent Treasury Savings Certif-
Gates.
Every 1918 Stamp presented now
will be accepted at its maturity
value of FIVE dollars if used as part
payment for one or more new
Certificates, dated January I, 1928.
This opportunity should appeal
to everyone who holds War Saw
ings Stamps bought in IeIS-whe-
ther he holds one stamp or two
hundred
Postmaster E. B. Williams is
anxious to handle the bulk of these
exchanges before the usual Christ
mas rush begins at the post office.
All owners of 1913 War Savings
Stamps should take notice and
govern themselves accordingly.
