Evening Republican, Volume 21, Number 7, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 17 January 1918 — On Sale Everywhere. [ARTICLE]

On Sale Everywhere.

In order more fully to accommodate the publicfor the purchase of Thrift Stamps and War-Savings Cetificates, the Federal Cbmmission has recommended, and the WarSavings Committee for Indiana has provided for Sales Stations in every place frequented by the public. In these Stations the Thrift Stamps and Cards, particularly, will be on sale, but the War-Savings Stamps and Certificates can also be purchased.

The proposition is that every store—dry-goods, hardware, drug, jewelry or general, and every restaurant, and shop patronized by the people be a place where the Stamps can be obtained. The plan is the same as that by which certain drug stores now keep postage stamps for the accommodation of of their patrons. The proprietors will buy in small quantities from .the postoffice or other authorized agency and then sell to their customers. It will not require a large outlay; Twenty Thrift Stamps and one or two War-Savings Stamps will be sufficient to have on hand, and at the close of the year any unsold will

be redeemed at the agencies. It is trusted that every proprietor of spch public place will be sufficiently patroitic to keep himself provided with the stamps. All such stores and offices have been furnished with conspicuous signs reading. “War-Savings Stamps for Sale Here.” It is believed that these signs will suggest to the public the duty and privilege of speeding just as many “quarters” as each can spare for the purchase of Thrift Stamps. It must also be kept in mind that the purchases is not a gift or donation, as to a charity but a sound, paving investment, that will be earning interest day and night for the purchaser. Hence, these Sales Stations are expected to be an efficient factor in enlarging the sales of the War-Savings Certificates. If by Oversight any proprietor of what might be a Sales Station has not been provided with the signs, he can obtain them by applying to his postmaster or the Chairman of the War-Savings Committee in this county. It has been estimated that there should be a Sales Station for every one hundred in the population, and it is desirable that all should be in operation by February First, so as to do a rushing business on the fourth, which is Thrift Day for 1918?:
