10 WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 18, 1920 THRIFT STAMPS MAKE | REAL CHRISTMAS GIFT Government Savings Certificates Also Offered as Gift of Lasting Value to the Children, Christmas gifts are neither more nor less than translated thoughts. A selfish or careless than a selfish gift is worth no more than a selfish or a careless thought to the receiver, no matter what its cost in money may have been. That is why many a youngster and many a "grown-up" also, finds Christmas day a time of bitter disillusionment and disappoint- | ment. Presents bought in selfish hope of return, or in careless fulfillment of obligation, or even for the fleeting pleasure of the moment, can never bring real appreciation to the re- ceiver or pleasure to the giver, for they lack the essential elements of "good will" and thought for the fu- ture. Scarcely a Christmas gift is dis- patched in this country that is not accompanied by at least a perfunc- tory hope for the future. But it is possible to give gifts which carry not only a hope but an assurance for the future, gifts that develop char- acter, that inspire success, that pro- mote independence. You can give your youngsters a habit that is worth more than money. You can" give them a training that should be part of the equipment of every American. You can give them a protection against misfortune, which will last them all their lives and they will like their presents. What is more, you can make your present cost what you will, and you can buy them at the postoffice. All you need to do is to ask for Govern- ment Savings Securities. No matter how slim or bully your purse, they will fit it! No matter if you can af- ford no more than a 25-cent Thrift Stamp posted on its card, you can do as much toward giving your boy or girl the habit of thrift and safe investment as the man who gives his child a $100 Treasury Savings Certif- jcate. You can start your youngster on the way to financial independence and safety with a $5 War Savings Stamp as well as with a $1,000 Liberty Bond. When you give these sound securi- ties you puf love and thought and good will into your gifts as well as money and you give happiness for the future as well as for the present. No matter what concrete form they take, your thoughts are all you can give for Christmas. Think it over and buy Government Savings Secu- rities. A CONNOISEUR.
