Salvage from
the battlefields
The Allied armies find it very profitable
to salvage scrap from the battlefields. Great
Biitain is saving millions every year from
this thrifty parctice.
If we could extend this practice to the
United States—if we saved only the waste
and needless spending of every day and put
the saving into War Savings Stamps, it
would help to win the war.
Your every saving helps the Government.
Put the small savings into U. S. Thrift
Stamps at 25 cents each; when you have
16 of them, exchange them with a few extra
pennies for a $5 War Savings Stamp.
THEY EARN MONEY
THEY SAVE LIFE AT THE
FRONT, BY HELPING UNCLE
SAM WIN THE WAR.
