A wartime appeal urges readers to lend coins for War Savings Stamps, praising mothers who sacrifice for their sons and detailing how 25 cents buys a Thrift Stamp or a $5 War Savings Stamp later cashed in with 4 percent interest. It urges immediate action at post offices, banks, or stores selling W.S.S. and highlights the moral call to support the nation.
The article explains two War Savings Stamps types, 25c Thrift Stamps and $5 stamps. It outlines pricing, monthly increases for the $5 stamps through 1923, and the Thrift Card system. It notes government redemption options, safety, and how to obtain stamps at post offices or banks.
