A PATRIOTIC
CHALLENGE
THE WAR SAVINGS PLAN is a challenge to the
thrift and patriotism of every American; a challenge that must
be met by every man, woman and child who shares the bless
ings of this free country, if we are to carry on this war as a
UNITED people.
It is a call to put your surplus earnings, however
small, at the service of your country while your country needs
them—and later get the money back with interest.
For every $4.14 you put into War Savings Stamps
now, you will receive $5 in five years—that is four per cent
interest, compounded quarterly. If you are not ready to
start with $4.14, buy a THRIFT CARD and begin with 25c—
then save systematically, every day if you can, and see how
your savings grow, helping you and helping the nation.
Inquire at any Bank, other authorized
* agency, or the postoffice.
