THRIFT STAMPS of 1919 are identical with those of 
1918. Thrift Stamps bought in 1918 may be ex- 
changed for War Savings Stamps of the same issue on 
the same basis as last year. No new Thrift card is 
necessary. 
WAR SAVINGS STAMPS, 1919, for the convenience of 
the public are somewhat smaller in size than the 1918 
issue, are blue in color and carry a portrait of Benja- 
min Franklin, the great American advocate of sensible 
spending. Except in appearance, however, War Sav- 
ings Stamps of the new issue are unchanged from those 
of last year. They can be purchased from the same 
agencies which sold the 1918 issue. They cost $4. 1 2 in 
January and one cent additional each month through- 
out the year. On January 1, 1924, the Government 
will pay you $5.00 for each War Savings Stamp of 
this issue. This represents interest on your money at 
4% compounded quarterly. 
WAR SAVINGS STAMPS, 1918, do not have to be cashed 
in or converted to the new issue. Save them! The 
Goverment will pay you $5.00 for each one you hold 
on Jan. 1, '23, whether your card is filled out or not. 
NEW CARDS are necessary for your 1919 War Savings 
Stamps. Do not paste the blue stamps on your old 
1918 W. S. S. card. Ask for a new card when you 
buy your first stamp of the new issue.
