Postal Saving News Bulletin The United States Postal Sav ings System is today marking its tenth anniversary by issuing a new postal savings card which has been in use since the estab lishment o f t h e System on January 1, 1911. The new card will be furnish ed free of cost and when ten 10- cent postal savings stamps have been affixed to it will be accept ed at any depository office as a deposit of $1 or it may be re deemed in cash. The outstand ing featiue of the new card is the translation into twenty-four foreign languages of the state ment that the faith of the Unit er! States is solemnly pledged to the payment of deposits made with the System. The Service was first estab lished at forty eight post offices, one in each state, on January 1, 1911, and, although hampered by many restrictions as to rate of interest and maximum amount allowed on deposit, it has shown remarkable progress. Postmas ter General Burleson announces that the amount on depos t t >day is more than #>1(52,000,000 and its depositors have long since passed the one-half million mark.

The service is, therefore, one of the most jh )- tent factors in furthering the Americanization movement. Many banks, usually savings banks, prior to the establish ment of the System felt that the Postal Savings System would be a strong competitor but expe rience has shown that the Postal Savings System draws its pa trons not from depositors in es tablished a n d well-conducted banks but from among those who otherwise would not place their money in any banking in stitution whatever. The original act of Congress restricted the total amount to 1«» placed on deposit at $500 and the deposit of this amount was limited to not more than .$100 T h u rsd a y , J a n u a r y 6, 1921 EASTERN CLACKAMAS NEWS Page Six FOR SALE One almost new Universal range, also 22 in.
