FRIDAY, DECEM BER 7, IM I
I f you are an adult American you do. It is a picture
of Pearl Harbor ten years ago.
On December 7,1941, we were caught weak and
unprepared in the Pacific, unable to defend our har
bors, our ships and sailors, our airfields and airmen,
our soldiers and marines.
This must not happen again.
And we cannot ask the men and women of our
armed services to do the defense job alone. We must
make defense our job, too. It is our job to build up
and maintain America’s economic strength as it is
theirs to take care of ber military power.
Only our job is easier. For we can do it by buying
U. S.’ Defense Bonds regularly. With bonds and
other forms of saving we build up our own personal
financial security. And it is the financial stability
of every one of us that determines the strength of
our economy. Remember that strength is doubly
important now. Because today peace is for the strong.
So buy bonds and buy them regularly . . . through
the Payroll Savings Plan where you work or the
Bond-A-Month Plan where you bank. Start now I

~
The U. S. Defense Bonds you buy
give you personal financial independence
D on’t forget that bonds are now a better buy than ever.
Because now every Serie» E Bond you own can automati
cally go on earning interest every year for 20 year» from
date of purchase instead of 10 as before! This means that
the bond you bought for $18.75 can return you not just $25—
bvsf afe much as $33.33! A $37.50 bond pays $66.66. And so
on. For your security, and your «country’s, too, buy U. S.
Defense Bonds now! Bankers recommend them as one of
the safest forms of investment
