War Savings Stamps as Government Loans
The money invested in War Savings Stamps is a loan to the Government with 4 percent compound interest. If funds are needed before January 1, 1923 a ten day notice to a Money Order post master allows withdrawal with interest to date. Stamps are tax free when registered, insured against loss, and backed by United States property. A quota is assigned to each district with meetings on June 28 to announce targets. The Government urges all citizens to subscribe and prove loyalty to the war effort.
