For years, people have been saving in sugar bowls, knowing deep down that they aren’t the best place to keep their money. We've always wondered why. Because saving at First National is much safer. It’s easy (we have 117 branches). Savings can be 5 % sweeter at First. And we have a savings program for everyone. Take our "90-DAY PASSBOOK TIME ACCOUNT," for example. To start one, all you need is $500. From then on your money earns 5% interest. You're able to keep it growing with deposits of $50 or more. And your money is readily available to you after 90 days by withdrawing it within 10 calendar days following the end of a calendar quarter. Or, by giving us a 90-day written withdrawal notice. DEPOSIT CERTIFICATES also make your savings 9% sweeter. These certificates are something you actually buy. They can be issued for as little as $500 and as much as $100,000. The "6-MONTH DEPOSIT CERTIFICATE" pays 5 interest yearly and matures in just 6 months. You can easily arrange for automatic renewal at the end of this period. The "2-YEAR INCOME CERTIFICATE” guarantees you 5% interest which is paid by check or deposited to your account each quarter. If you let this interest add up and compound quarterly for 2 years, the return on your original investment is actually 5.22%. And now, all new certificates (issued after March 28, 1969) may be cashed by giving us a written 90-day withdrawal notice. Another had thing about saving in sugar howls is that it's so easy to cheat. You grab a few dollars here and there. And pretty soon there's no money left to save. That's why we developed SAVE O-MATIC. It's a special program that, for the first time, actually makes it easy to save money. With Save-o-Matic, an agreed upon amount of money is automatically transferred each month from your checking account to your passbook savings account. What could be easier? ____ There's also the regular "PASSBOOK SAVINGS" that's familiar to everyone. In addition to earning regular interest, such savings traditionally are payable without advance notice. So stop in to find out more about our savings programs. Better yet, bring in your sugar bowls, and we'll start sweetening them up right away. First National Bank of Oregon—a member of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. Wed like to get to know you.
