T h e G o v ern m en t’s W ar Saving P lan, is a plan by
w hich you can lend small savings to your governm ent
at four percent in terest, com pounded q u arterly .
You lend to y o u r G overnm ent by th e purchase of
w ar savings certificates and th rift stam ps.
A w ar sav in g s certificate costs $4.12, if purchased
this m onth or n ex t— the cost to advance one cent each
succeeding m onth d u rin g 1918. On Ja n u ary 1, 1923,
the certificate will m atu re and th e G overnm ent will
pay you $5 for it.
A th rift stam p is a stam p costing 25cents, to be a p ­
plied in paym ent for a war savings certificate. I t does
not earn in terest, its purpose being to help p u rch asers
to accum ulate in 25-cent pieces the am ount necessary
to pay for a war savings certificate.
W ar savings certificates and thrifc stam ps can be
purchased at y o u r postoffice, from y o u r city or rural
mail carrier, at your city banks, and from your m er­
ch an ts and other authorized agents.
T h o u g h m oney w ith w hich to cariy on the w ar to
victory is th e im m ediate consideration in the G overn­
m e n t’s w ar savings certificate and th rift stam p appeal,
real and lastin g benefits to the nation are going to
accrue by v irtu e of th e m ore general practice of n a ­
tion al th rift w hich the cam paign is expected to develop.
T h e G overnm ent hopes to m ake us a m ore th rifty
people, not m erely for the du ratio n of th e war but for
all tim e. U ncle Sam feels th at if he can m ake us a
nation of savers he will have m ade us a nation of
servers to all m ankind.
