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
