In February, 1919, the price is $4.01, and it increases one cent each month until in December, 1919, the price is $4.11 --the extra cents representing interest earned, $4.00 Grows to $5.00 Instead of paying interest twice a year, like a Victory Bond, the interest on a War-Savings Stamp accumulates, and is paid with the principal at the end of the term. Your $4.00 grows to $5.00 in the 5 years. } the Surrender Privilege When a person buys his first War-Savings Stamp, a certificate is issued, without charge, providing space for ten such stamps. I circum. stances compel him to realize on his investment, his money is available. On the back of the certificate will be found the cash surrender value of the stamps at various dates before the end of the full term. Registration Against Loss A certificate with one or more W.S. 8, thereon will be registered for you without charge by the Post Master at any Money Order Post Office. This protects the owner in case such certificate is lost, stolen or destroyed. By applying at the Post Office where your certificate was registered, you can have your money refunded.
