ries this season.

This is the best anniversary
our U. S. Savings Bonds ever had
mf itst 15 years ago, in May, 1941, millions
of Americans started buying Series E Sav
ings Bonds through the U. S. Treasury
Department. Those Bonds were called De
fense Bonds in that troubled time. And if
you were like most people, you bought
them to help your country.
Let’s see how your investment has paid
off. First of all, you helped end tyranny
on foreign shores and bring back peace
to the world. Secondly, you helped finance
the greatest prosperity this country has
ever known. And equally important, your
Bond investment has made a lot of your
own personal dreams come true. New
homes financed through Savings Bonds.
College educations paid for by Bonds.
Retirement day brightened by Bonds.
\ es, there have been many, many hap
py returns — thanks to United States
Savings Bonds.
Just stop and think. If you had bought
just one $50 Bond a month at $37.50,
every month since the beginning of the
Bond Program, your investment would be
worth $8,242 today. Start buying one $50
Bond a month today —and 15 years from
now you ll have a cash reserve of $8,372.
So don’t delay. Sign up for Payroll Sav
ings where you work or buy Bonds regu
larly where you bank. Make sure that you
get in on these happy returns.
