War Saving Stamps
And Thrift Stamps
A Call to
Every American!
“Isn't there something that I can do to help end this War?”
Yes! And at the same time benefit yourself.
War Savings Stamps are a call to the thrift and patriotism of
every American—a challenge that must be met by every man, wom
an and child who shares the blessings of this free country, if we
are to carry on this war as a United people.
Begin now to buy them. Behind them are the entire resources
of the people and the Government of the United States.
For every 84.12 you put into War Savings Stomps you will get
back |6 on January 1, 1923—that is four per cent interest com
pounded quarterly. You can always get your money back when you
need it.
THRIFT STAMPS—Offer an easy means to put your smallest
savings in the service of your country. Begin to save with a 25c
Thrift Stomp. With it you will get a card with spaces for 16 stomps.
When you have filled the Thrift Card, you can exchange it for a 8 6
War Savings Stamp by adding 12c In January, 1918, or lc a month
after Janaary.
A Country Worth Fighting for is
A Country Worth Saving for
Get War Savings Stamps and Thrift Stamps from your Post/Of
