New Way to Save Money through War Savings Stamps
The Thrift Card and War Savings Certificates replace coin savings boxes in American homes. Manufacturers report about 10 million children’s coin boxes costing 25 cents to 2 dollars each, averaging a dollar, totaling 10 million dollars. If kept in banks at 3 percent, that would earn 200,000 annually. The 30 million dollars in boxes could buy over 36.7 million in War Savings Stamps, worth face value in five years. The plan encourages saving via War Savings Stamps and Liberty bonds, aiding war effort and fostering thrift, with 4 percent interest compounded quarterly.
