I’ve never seemed able to hold on to a penny. • “But when the War Savings Stamps came along I said to myself; ‘Here’s your chance, Mary I’ And now I buy War Savings Stamps regularly, take ’em in change as regularly as I sell chickens or cash the creamery check at the hank. I’ve filled several cards already, and I can tell you I gloat over ’em 1 When those War Savings Stamps mature Fll have real money of my own.” CAPITALIZE YOURSELF
