New War Loan Open to Every American
Secretary MARITON explains the new war loan offering two forms. The first uses twenty five cent stamps on a savings certificate, costing about 41 dollars, earning 4 percent interest compounded. At five years it could be worth 5 dollars plus. The second form uses thrift cards convertible to a war savings certificate, small as 25 cents in stamps, usable for conversion later. Both forms let Americans of all means lend to the government at 4 percent, with cashing rights added for the holder.
