Canada, following the example of other Allied countries, has
made it possible for wage earners—men and women—to invest
in safe securities without effort.
These securities are called War Savings Stamps.
The now $4.04, but by compounding interest, the $4.04 you
invest w will be worth $5.00 in 1924. There is no other security
in which u can invest such a small amount that is as safe and
t
bears so high a rate of interest.
Or you can start with 25 cents, by buying k'Thrift Stamp. When
you have sixteen Thrift Stamps, you can exchange them for a
War Savings Stamp.
You take no risks. The Government of Canada guarantees to
pay you back your money -with interest—at any time during the
five years, or to pay you in 1924 $5.00 for every $4.00 (and a
fraction) you invest now.
