BEWARE
In these days when money is
much easier to get than in the
days that many can remem
ber, the “get rich quick” plan
is a favorite temptation held
alluringly before the public.
The Treasury Department has
recently issued a bulletin deal
ing with this pernicious evil.
The really wise person who
cannot afford to take a chance
finds in the War Savings stamp
an investment just to his liking
He may invest as little as $5.
or he may invest up to .$1,000
and the little baby bond is safe
guarded just as much as the
$1,000 bond, drawing four per
cent compounded quarterly
and is absolutely safe.
