Ta elftb Federal Reserve District have
ordered nearly 100.000 hand grenades
which they will give free to purchas­
ers of War Savings Stamps and Treas­
ury Savings Certificates.
The gre­
nades are expected to arrive at the Fed­
eral Reserve Ranh in San Francisco
from Washington within the next
thirty days, but owing to probable
freight delays, no exact date of arrival
can be given.
These hand grenades which the War
Department had on hand when the ar­
mistice was signed, all loaded with
T N T to bomb the Germans out of their
machine gun nests and dugouts. have
been turned into savings banks by
simply taking out the T N T and cutting
a coin slot in the side. Save for those
alterations they are regular hand gre­
nades known as the Mills Bomb No. 11.
As souvenirs of the Great War they
have bepn sought after avidly in the
East, where one enterprising firm,
which managed somehow to get a few
of them, put them on the market at a
dollar each. They sold like hot cakes.
Persons up to twelve years of age
ran get a grenade by purchasing oue
War Savings Stamp: 12 to 18 years,
two stamps: over 18. one $100 or one
$1000 Treasury Savings Certificate, all
of which mature In five years and

These are the only hand
grenades In this cojntrv. They were
ready for shipment to our doughboys
when the war ended and were turned
over to the Treasury Department by
the War Department to stimulate thrift
and saving through the purchase of
Thrift and War Stamps regularly.

saved.
You— evervman and everywoman—
