G HONEY!
Everybody has been asked to save in every way pos-
sible. But not much has been said about conserving labor
and materials, and saving money as a means of serving
the country. This page is to say something about it.
You've always been told you ought to save money; ev-
ery day some savings bank advertisement tells you so.
The chief reason given for saving money has been that
you'd have the money with interest later on, as a step to
financial independence and success.
That is an excellent reason, but there’s a better reason
than that. Save because we have pledged the honor of
our country and our people to fight this war to our last dollar
and to our last man, if necessary, America does not break
her word, The necessities of the war must be producedt
and must be produced quickly. The key to the situation
therefore rests in the hands of the average man, woman
and child in every < ate in the union who can, by re-
fraining from everything not absolutely necessary to
health and efficiency, release strong arms to the produc-
tion oi materials of war and the support of our army
and navy.
Money saved makes of you a better man or woman,
boy or girl; makes you dependable, responsible; increases
self respect, which increases your value.
Save money to help your country; and in order to help
you do it, our government has prepared War Savings
Stamps and U. S, Thrift Stamps, which you can buy in
sums as small as 25c at a time,
1— War Savings Stamps are a promise to pay you the amount you invest at the end
of five years with 4 per cent interest, compounded every three months,
2— You can turn them into cash any time without looking for a buyer: just go into
any post office and get them cashed,
3— You can invest in United States Thrift Stamps as little as 25 cents at a time—as
much more as you please,
