THE WEALTHY DOLLAR Money Saved Now And Secure ly Invested Will Have Dou ble Buying Power in The Fu ture " The saying has come up from the dark ages that the way to make money is to buy cheap and sell dear. As the government of the United States is pointing out to its citizens, one way to do this is to buy standard 8ecurftles when tne purchasing power . of money is low and hold them until the purchasing power of money Is greater. "Low-power" dollars In vested in government securities now wilt ln redeemed at a later nnrind when interest and principal will come back us "high-power" dollars. Here Is how it works: Before the war you earned, say $3 a day. Now you earn, say $5 for doing the same work. But you can't buy much more with your $5 than you could with your three dollars -v other prices have gone up along with the price of your labor. Now when prices and wages have decreased somewhat, you may, for ex ample, be earning and spending $4 a day. Your hundred dolars worth of vVar Savings Stamps becomes due and I the government gives you back your 1 l 1 I ..' ... I too .!.. 11 T interest. In terms of days' labor the government is giving back four days more than it borrowed from you, plus (your $17 interest.
