BUY THRIFT STAMPS WITH lOilllST Convert Profits on Bondr Into War Savings, Committee Com-mittee Urges. "Convert the interest on your Liberty bonds into thrift stamps or baby bonds" is tho appeal issued by the local war savings committee to the citizens of Salt I.auo and Utah generally. The situation is ropoited to have become so acute as a ennsequen ?-3 of Salt Lake beini? so far bohi mi itM i m oia that t lie eomniiUee is compiled tu plead with all classes to see to it that the citizens res pond to the nation's call immediately. Coincident with this appeal, another is Issued to the Christmas shoppers to take their change in .thrift stamps. If there is no change they are asked to again open then- purses and help to augment the wealth in the war savings vault. All the leading merchants have stamps on hand and the committee reports that they are co-operating splendidly in selling them f o customers. It is thought, however, hat sales on a much bigger scale could jr& made if tho people of the state would m only realize that the honor of Utah is ' at stake in this campaign. Department and other stores are holding hold-ing bargain sales and the opinion is ex-piessed ex-piessed tlint customers should take the double benefit, that of buying goods at reduced prices and, secondly, purchasing purchas-ing thrift stamps, the latter "always being be-ing negotiable. It has come to the attention of the local lo-cal war savings committee that coal mer-H mer-H chants are now doing a good Christmas V business and, consequently, those buying coal nre asked to request the coal dealers deal-ers to furnish change in thrift stamps.
