T he w orld-fam ous leath srn eck s have had a colorful and eventful history in just 179 years. In every war we’ve fought. Marines have helped prove to our enemies that freedom is the most effective weapon against aggression. I t was at tun ’ s t a v u n Master of the swift amphibious as sault, today’s Marine Corps has a specialized role in safeguarding free dom—just as every one of us has a spec ialized function in keeping our country sound and strong. For us, the job begins in our own homes . . . the job of individual security.

Thi V S There’s a simple plan that helps pro vide that kind of security for you —the Payroll Savings Plan. Here’s how it works: Just tell the people in your pay office how much you’d like to save each payday. They’ll put that amount aside /or you. When enough accu- mulates, they buy and turn over to you a U. S. Series E Savings Bond. Each Bond earns an average 3% an nual interest, compounded every six months—ozuf goes on earning it for a» long at 19 year» and 8 months! That means a return of up to 807® more than you originally puid! Sign up for security today on the Payroll Savings Plan! If you want your interest as current income, ask your banker about 3% Series H Ronds that pay interest semiannually by Treasury check.
