WAR SAVINGS STAMPS OF 1920 PAVE WAY TO INDEPENDENCE

The 1920 War Savings stamps are carmine In color and bear the head of George Washington. The price for January is $4.12 and it increases, one cent a month to in December. The 25-cent Thrift stamp also is on the market and 1$ used as formerly to evidence payments on account of War Savings stamps and certificates. The 1920 War Savings stamp in size approximates the larger stamp used In 1918. It will have a maturity value of $5 January 1, 1925.. War Savings stamps of the sesles of 1918 and 1919 shall not be affixed to War Savings certificates of the series of 1920 and War Savings stamps of the series of 1920 shall not be affixed to War Savings certificates of 1918 or 1919. War Savings stamps of one series affixed to War Savings certificates of another series will not add to the value thereof. Thrift stamps, as such, are not directly redeemable in cash, but each Thrift card will, as usual, have spaces for 16 Thrift stamps. A filled Thrift card may be exchanged for a War Savings certificate stamp, series of 1920, at any post office or other authorized agency. As usual, post offices will require a written demand ten days in advance before payment will be made before maturity, and such War Savings stamp certificate must be surrendered for payment within 60 days after such demand. Otherwise the demand will be deemed to be waived.
