# The 25 Club [10]: War Savings Stamp booklet, 'Congratulations' page and 1945 calendar

A booklet spread: a 'Congratulations' text on the left and a 1945 year calendar with Victory Loan coupon dates circled in red on the right, captioned 'On dates circled in red convert the interest from your Victory Bond coupons into War Savings Stamps'. The text calls stamp-buying 'a real mark of patriotism' and invites readers to send the cover to the National War Finance Committee to be added to a list of 'patriotic Stamp Savers'. The tell for glittering-generalities is the virtue words (patriotism, far-sighted); for identity-fusion, saving is tied to belonging to a named group of patriots.
