Every Hand in the Land!
Save and Lend to Your Government!
WAR SAVINGS STAMPS
ISSUED BY THE.
UNITED STATES

TUESDAY
Every one must lend some money to the Government. And every one can
lend some if only a little.
No matter how slim our purse or how small our earnings each and every
one of us can spare a little for our Government if we practice a little thrift.
By investing in War Savings Stamps the person with only a tew cents to
spare can do his or her share as well and as nobly as the man with a million
to invest. Remember the Government does not ask you to give your money
but to lend it at interest. You make it work not only for those “over there"
but also for you here no matter how much or little it may be.
I ou may purchase War Savings Thrift Stamps by paying the small amount
of 25 cents at a time. Sixteen Thrift Stamps plus a few cents in cash are ex*
changeable for a Five Dollar War Savings Stamp.
Every hand a Saving hand Every hand a Helping hand
Every hand a Fighting hand
Your hand and my hand —Young hand and old hand
Every hand in the land a hand in the Country’s Cause!

The Five Dollar Stamps cost from $4.12 to $4.23 each according to the time
purchased and will be redeemed on January 1 1923 at $5 each.
The Stamps will be sold during January 1918 at $4.12 each and the price
will increase one cent a month during 1918.
At the average 1918 selling price War Savings Stamps will yield you on the
redemption date four per cent interest compounded quarterly. In case of necessity
they may be redeemed before January 11923 with about three per cent interest.
The investment is the soundest on earth. The entire wealth and security of
the United States is back of them.
War Savings Stamps are as easy to buy as postage stamps. They are sold
at post'officcs banks or trust companies many railway stations stores factories
agencies and other public places.
LET’S ALL INVEST AND HELP —EVERY HAND IN THE LAND.
