Make a Promise
That You Will Keep
Next Friday, June 28th, has
been proclaimed as “National
War Savings Day.” Each loyal
American on that day will be
asked to sign a pledge to prac
tice personal thrift and like
wise promise to purchase regu
larly a certain amount of War
Savings Stamps—not Thrift
Stamps. Promise only what
you can perform. Works—not
words—will win the war.
