f&aa.$4.12 TODAY
and Five Years From Now
He Will Pay You $5.00
YOU know the value of thrift. You believe absolutely in putting aside
a little money each month for a future rainy day. You probably
have already a good sized savings account. Here's a chance to increase your savings and, at
the same time, "do your bit" toward helping the boys "Over There." This is a chance to be
both thrifty and patriotic at the same time. And it's offered by the biggest, safest, richest bank
in the world the United States Government. It means absolute security for your money and
a generous rate of interest.
THE WAR SAVINGS PLAN
The new war savings plan offers every man, woman and child
in the country a chance to open a savings account with the
United States Government. It is made so easy that you don't
have to go out of your way. You don't even need to begin with a
large amount. As amall a sum as 25 centB will Btart you on the road
to greater saving. As small a sum as $4.12 will buy a War Savings
Stamp. Series of 1918. That price holds good until February 1st.
1918. After that date the price will advance one cent each month. In
February, 1918, you will be asked to pay $4.13; In March, $4.14; in
April, $4.15, and so on. Each War Savings Stamp, Series of 1918, has
a cash value of $5.00 on January 1st, 1923. It is then worth $5.00
instead of $4.12. At the time you buy your first War Savings Stamps
you will be given a War Savings Certificate which has spaces on it to
hold 20 of the War Savings Stamps. Thus when full, your War
Savings Certificate will have a cash value of $100.00 on January 1st,
1923, though if you fillit out before February 1st, 1918, the stamps
to &11 it'will cost you only $82.40. You will then make a clear profit
of $17.60 on your investment.
4 PER CENT INTEREST COMPOUNDED QUARTERLY
Interest at 4 per cent is compounded QUARTERLY on the War
Savings Stamps. Uncle Sam is such a generous relative that
he doesn's ask you 1o be satisfied with merely a high rate of
interest, but he compounds this interest for you QUARTERLY
four times a year. This is a real gilt-edged proposition Just about
the safest, surest, highest-paying, soundest investment you ever
heard of.
YOUR MONEY BACK WITH INTEREST AT ANY TIME
If the time should ever arise when you need the money simply
must have it you can get it back, with interest, by simply tak
ing your War Savings Stamps to the nearest money-order post
office' and present them for redemption. The interest will be paid
you on the sum already deposited, be it only one War Savings Stamp
or a lot of them.
