Are You a War Saver? – The War is costing considerably more this year than last year,
and the cost is still growing. Therefore it is necessary that everyone should save
considerably more thatn they did last year, and lend their savings to the State.

Those of us who are not in the army or Navy must help to win the war by lending to the State
all the money we do not require for absolute necessities.

Buy all the 15/6 War Savings Certificates you can. Increase your holdings of Certifcates if
you already have some, and if you are not a holder start buying them to-day. You can get
them at any Post Office, Bank or through your Local War Savings Association. Keep each
15/6 Certificate for five years and the Government guarantees to pay you £1 for it is cash. If
you need the money in the meantime, you can cash your Certificates at the Post Office. They
increase automatically in value year by year. Save at least 6d a day for this purpose. When
you have 15/6 buy a Certificate.

Each member of a family can hold up to 500 of them. They are entirely free from Income
Tax. It is the best way of saving to prepare for a boy’s start in live, or to start a small
business. Saving helps you towards success in life. Begin at once to save and so help your,
country and yourself.

Issued by the National War Savings Committee.
