Show AVAR SAYINGS STAMPS SOON TO FALL DUE "It Is to be hoped that every person per-son who can do so will exchangi War Savings Stamps, soon to fall due, for Treasury savings certificates, certifi-cates, said Postmaster L. P. Nelson. "The large amount of money invested invest-ed and the great inumber of persons 'who purchased war savings stamps showed that the people of this country could save money when the necessity arose. Now, if they will take the money they saved when they 'bought stamps to aid the government govern-ment in the prosecution of the war and buy Treasury savings certilleat-is, they will demonstrate that the thrift lessons of the war have not been without effect. The holders of war savings stamps have seen invest ments of about $20.50 grow to $25 in five years, and larger amounts In the same proportion. They can see the same thing repeated if they reinvest rein-vest iu Treasury savings certificates. Interest accumulates at the rate of 4 per cent each year, compounded semi-annually. These savings certificates cer-tificates are exempt from the normal nor-mal Federal income tax, and from all State and local taxation (except estate and inheritance taxes), anc may be held to the amount of $5,000. maturity value, for each issue, by every member of a family. They are backed by the credit of the United Unit-ed Stales Government, and afford an asy and sure method of saving." |
