Savings Stamps As Christmas Gifts What to v^\^ a friend for Christmas is a ((ucstiuu that is giving many people a great deal of thought. ( ipinions on this subject have changed considerably, for the war has made imperative the quality of uesfulness in gifts. Today the cll'oit is to get a present that cnjnb'nes good will and genuine value. War Savings Staaips do this to an unusual extent, ^ot only are they alvvays worth the price paid for them, but a great deal more, inteiest bein:{ paid on them at the rate of over 4| per cent, compounded half yearly. Most other gilts decrease in value as lime goes on. A War Savings Stamp costs $4, which is pretty well within the reich of all. Still, If there are any who want to start a friend in the way of prolitable saving,but feel that they cannot atl'ord this amount, they may buy Th'ift Stamps and give them. These Cost 2") cents e.ich, and when stxtoon of them have been bought tluy may be exchanged for a War Savings Stump. Wir Savings Stamps aie a uoud invest- ment, drawiiiif 4i per cent, compounded half yearly, and no one w-U regret having given one or nioic of them as a present.
