A wartime plea urges readers to support the war effort by purchasing War Savings Stamps. Mothers’ sacrifices are cited to motivate individuals to lend money at 4 percent, with stamps issued by the government and maturing to five dollars, payable in January 1923, encouraging immediate action at post offices, banks, or stores.
Stamps sell for 25e each with a Thrift Card for sixteen stamps totaling 84, issued at Post Offices banks or stores. When filled, return the card to the Post Office with an additional payment and, starting in April, receive a 5 dollar stamp. War Savings Stamps are advertised as safe as the United States.
