WA* SAVINGS STAMPS
ISSUED BY THE
UNITED STATES
GOVERNMENT
Lend Uncle Sam $4i2 Today
5 Years From Now He'll Pay You $522
IN OFFERING IVar Savings Stamps and Thrift
Stamps to the public, the United States Gov ernment
presents to every man, woman and child an oppor-
tunity for profitable, simple and secure investment.
War Savings Stamps are "Baby Bonds." Back of
them are the entire resources of the Government and
people of the United States. They enable you to
invest your surplus savings in Government Securities
paying equivalent to 4% compounded quarterly.
You need not begin with a large amount. You
can buy U. S. Government Thrift Stamps at 25c
each. When you buy your first Thrift Stamp, you
will be given a Thrift Card. Each Thrift Card has
spaces for 16 stamps. When you have filled a Thrift
Card it may be exchanged for a $5.00 War Savings
Stamp at any Postoffice, Bank or other authorized
agency, by adding 13 cents in cash if exchanged prior to
March 1st, 1918, and lc additional each month
thereafter. Thus a $5.00 War Savings Stamp will
have cost you $4.13 (if purchased before March
1st. 1918). On January 1st, 1923, the United States
Government will pay you $5.00 for each War Savings
Stamp you own. (Under the law no person may hold
such stamps in excess of $1,000 maturity value).
If you prefer you may buy the $5.00 War Sav-
ings Stamps outright. When you buy your first
War Savings Stamp, you will be given a War Savings
Certificate. This has spaces for 20 stamps. Thus,
when full, the certificate will have a cash value of
$100.00 on January 1st, 1923.
The interest paid you on War Savings Stamps is
equivalent to 4% compounded quarterly, if you keep
your stamps for 5 years. If you should need this
money before Jan. 1st, 1923, you can get it back on
ten days' written notice with interest at approximately
3%, by presenting your War Savings Certificate, with
stamps attached, at a Money Order Postoffice.
The 25 cent Thrift Stamps, however, are not re-
deemable except in exchange for War Savings Stamps.
It is the desire of the Treasury Department of the
United States to have every man, woman and child
participate in the War Savings Plan by buying
Thrift Stamps and War Savings Stamps regularly.
Parents are asked to encourage children to save and
buy these stamps—to help win the war!
