The Men Your
Savings Will Help
x Do you know that every dollar you put into
War Savings Stamps is a very real help to our
men “Over There?”
They look to us for help not with money only
but with our united support.
Our Sailors on the seas and our Soldiers on
the battlefields of France should know that we
are behind them in the fight for freedom and
self-government.
By all means begin now to buy War Savings
Stamps. For every $4.12 you put into them
this month you’ll get back $5 in five years—
that is 4 per cent interest compounded quarterly
—and you can always get your money back if
you need it—on demand.
Or, if more convenient, begin by buying 25c
Thrift Stamps and when you have ftleed a Thrift
Card of 16 Stamps, you can exchange it with
a few extra pennies for a War Savings Stamp.
Buy War Savings Stamps at the Post Office
or at Rogers Drug Store
