The Fuel Administration
Notice to Philadelphia Motorists
B
EGINNING with tomorrow, Sunday, September 1,
the United States Fuel Administration calls upon
motorists east of the Mississippi to deny them
selves the use of their cars on Sunday.
The enormous increase in the amount of gasoline
shipped overseas and held here for shipment makes im
perative the conservation of this essential fuel.
Philadelphia motorists will unite in complying with
this request and thereby further aid our Government in
winning the war.
In Philadelphia alone, the value of the gasoline saved
in this way by patriotic motorists will amount approxi
mately to $100,000 every Sunday.
The Government has asked the Nation to raise
$2,000,000,000 this year by investments in War Savings
Stamps.
Philadelphia's quota is $34,710,280. Thus far she has
bought only $8,000,000. Philadelphia is behind the rest
of the Country $1.25 per capita.
Let's Save This Saving
Why not, Mr. Motorist, lend this money you will be
saving on gasoline to Uncle Sam? Will you buy War
Savings Stamps? ,
$4.19 in a War Savings Stamp today will yield you
$5.00 in 1923. It is the best and safest investment on
earth.
Better still, figure your saving for a year and invest
$100, $500, or the limit, $1000, in War Savings Stamps.
No irksome economies are necessary here is an
opportunity ready-made, at hand, to help your Country.
Resolve NOW to buy War Savings Stamps with the Sun
day gasoline and upkeep" costs that you are asked to saye.
Stand together, and before noon Tuesday.
