Exchange Interest for Stamps
The one million persons and cor
porations in the Sixth Federal Re
serve District who bought Third
Liberty Loan Bonds will have an
opportunity of turning interest
into more interest on September
loth, P. P. Sutton, postmaster of
Kirkland, Ga.. said to-day.
“On that day the Government
will make a semi annual payment
on the Third Liberty Loan Bonds,
amounting to the sum of $88,750,-
981.81. The Treasury I lepartment
is urging that bondholdees reinvest
their interest in Thrift and Wax-
Saving Stamps and thus keep their
dollars working.
"Making a wealth heap has two
processes —addition and multipli
cation.
“Saving is addition —a dollar
and a dollar and a dollar. It comes
easier as one goes along but the
increase is no faster next year
than now.
“When you set the dollar to
work —that is multiplication.
Your pile grows slowly this year,
a little faster, still a little, then
faster and faster, till interest out
runs saving.”
“War Saving Stamps do more
than add dollar to dollar. They
begin to multiply. No better in
vestment could be found for your
interest coupons. Remember this
on Sept 15th.”
Demonstrat ion is the best mode
of instruction.
