Government Thrift Stamps at 25c each. When you buy your first Thrift Stamp, you will be given a Thrift Card. Each Thrift Card has spaces for 16 stamps. Wlien you have filled a Thrift Card it may be exchanged for a $5.00 Wiar Savings Stamp at any Postoffice, Bank or other authorized agency, by adding 17 cents in cash if exchanged prior to July 1st, 1918, and lc additional each month thereafter.
