All registered certificates must be
cashed at the postoffice and holders of
these certificates are requested to pre-
sent them at the postoffice at once in

On January /, 1928, each owner will
receive a check direct from the Fed
eral Reserve Bank in payment for each
certificate presented at the postoffice.
No loose war savings stamps can be
cashed. They are of no value unless
attached to a certificate. All certifi-
Gates must be paid to the original pur-
chaser and any alteration or erasura
in the name on the certificate must be
accompanied by a sworn statement
that the holder was the original pur-
chaser and that he did not receive it
