These have been busy days for
Postmaster George o. Carr and his
assistants, but it Is now believed that
the greater part of the work incident
to the maturing 1918 Issue of War
Savings Stamps is over. Postmaster
Carr wishes to express his appreeia-
ton of the consideration shown by
the hundreds of people who have pre-
seated their stamps for redemption. A
noticeable lack of cooperation on their
part would have made the work Of
adjustment very much harder.
Postmaster Carr states that 1t is
human nature to wish to, see the
money which has been tied up In War
Savings Stamps for the past five
years. but now that his patrons have
received il he hopes that its reinyest-
nlent In Treasury Savings Certificates
will be favorably cons dered not only
because OF the absolute safety with
good interest rate which liz obtained.
but for the assistance which this CO.
operation will give to the government
In financing its war time obligations.
