It states the $5 stamps will be on sale from December 3, 1917 to January 31, 1918 and they increase in value by one cent per month until January 1, 1923. The pamphlet states the stamps should be purchased because the United States is in World War I and the country needs every penny one can save and lend to care for the active duty soldiers.
