CO-OP sas*s®«esj£=s f t V* v »<>** An dlifsfanding buBMer of Horn tells you mm How Savings Bonds can help you TszmM, your DREAM HOME Mr. George S. Goodyear, President, National Association of Home Builders Part of every Americans savings belongs in ^ U. S. Savings Bonds "Maybe an American family starts with a dropped hand kerchief. But somewhere along the line, even before the ring, the dreams start. One of the big things in those dreams is a house of your own, a house that’s just the way you want it. And for more than a million American families a year, that dream comes beautifully true when they first cross .the threshold of their wonderful new home. "We’ve learned plenty from home buyers about what they want in houses and a little bit about how they save that first down payment. Many of the people with whom I’ve talked found the easiest and surest way to save was by regular investment in U. S. Series E Savings Bonds.” ★ ★ ★ It’s easy to understand why. By putting money in Bonds, people are less inclined to spend it until they’ve reached their goal. And Bonds are a safe, sure in vestment The U. S. Government guarantees your principal in Savings Bonds—up to any amount—and the rate of interest you receive. If you’re saving for the home of your dreams, why not do it the easy way by regular investment in U. S. Savings Bonds? Start today either through the Pay roll Savings Plan where you work or by buying Bonds often where you bank. The U. S. Government does not pay for this advertisement.
