Clayton Illinois town surpasses thrift stamp quota
Bert Hugh postmaster of Clayton Illinois reports the town has reached and surpassed its war savings quota by selling 20 per person and 10 more per person for every resident. He achieved this without organized drives by placing notices about five year certificates at four percent interest and inviting residents to inquire at the post office. Residents called in large numbers and bought dollars and thousands. Hugh predicts Clayton may reach 40 dollars per head.
