Serve Your Country
By Saving Money!
You've always been told you ought to save money; every day
some savings bank advertisement tells you so. The chief reason
given for savrng money has been that you’d have the money
with interest bier on, as I stop to financial independence and
access.
That is an excellent reason, but there’s a better reason than .
that. Save because we have pledged the honor of our country l
and our people to fight this war to our last dollar and to our last
man if necessary. America does not break her \vord.
Money saved makes of you a better man or woman, boy or girl;
makes you dependable, responsiblz; increases self-respect,
which increases your value. Save money to help your country
by buying War Savings Stamps and U. S. Thrift Stamps.
