WAR SAVINGS STAMPS
Will Be Worth $500 Each on Jan. 1,
1923-HoIders Should File Applica-
tions for Redemption at Postoffice

Attention is called to q statement
made by Postmaster Plaisted in re-
gard to the approaching maturity on
January LIST of the first C91S) issue
Of War Savings Stamps, the refund
ing proposition of the u. S. Treasury
Dept, and the ACCESSIBILITY of adjust
ing these securities now and so
avoiding the rush which is expected
on January LIST. The postmaster de-
clares that because these stamps
were bought at time when little or
no thought was given to the intrinsic
value of the security many people do
not now realize that the stamps are
worth IS each, and in some instances
the owners do not know their present
whereabouts. He urges everyone who
purchased stamps from patriotic rea-
sons in 1918 to look them up and i'm
mediately take steps to reinvest the
money due. either in Treasury Saw
ings Certificates or place applications
for their cash redemption. The post
master states that his instructions
cover three options:
First: If Treasury Savings Ger
tificates are desired for all Of the
stamps presented for redemption,
these certificates will be issued at
once and dated January LIST, 1928, and
the difference between the cost Of
these certificates and the maturity
value Of the stamps presented be
paid Immediately in cash thus def
nitely closing the transaction.
Second: II Treasury Savings
Certificates are desired for a portion
of the maturity value of the War
Savings Stamps presented, these will
be issued under date of January LIST,
1928 and the difference between the
maturity value of the War Savings
Stamps and the cost Of the certificates
will be subject to prompt cash re-
mittance direct to the holder Of the
securities on January 1st.
Third: If it is desired that the
entire maturity value Of War Saw
ings Stamps presented be paid in
cash, they may be deposited with
the postmaster now, an interim re-
ceipt protecting the holder given and
cash in the full amount will be paid
to the holder of these stamps prompt
ly on January LIST.
Any stamps which are presented
for redemption after January LIST
may be subject to 10 day delay in
payment at the option of the post
master in order that he may provide
himself with the necessary funds
from the nearest Federal Reserve
Bank or State Depository with which
to make payment.
