Increased Sales
In Savings Bonds
Seen in December
The Federal Reserve Bank of
San Francisco has just released
figures showing sales of I'niled
Stales Treasury Department Sav
ings Bonds in Oregon. Total sales
for the United States were $1.2S,v
324, an increase of $573,942 when
compared to December a year ago.
December's E Bond purchases
in Oregon were $3,2S5,214, which
is $524,236 more than for the same
month a year ago. This represents
an increase in these small Bond
purchases amounting to lh'o.
In discussing these figures, Mr.
E. C. Summons, State Chairman
of the Oregon office of the Savings
Bonds Division, pointed out that
when this increase in Savings
Bonds sales is contrasted with an
expected small decrease in retail
sales in Oregon for December, the
conclusion is inescapable that the
sence of thrift among Oregon peo
ple is growing.
Copies of the Federal Reserve
sales figures received by County
Chairman Mrs. Elaine George
show sales in this county In De-.
comber amounting to $17,525. This f.
represents an Increase of $7,763
on the basis of a comparison with
December, 1948.
Savings Bonds redemptions for
the State in December were $3, 89
8,983. For the same month a year
ago, redemptions were $3,869,577.
Although Oregon as a state has
yet to observe its first centennial,
scientists say its earliest residents
pre-historic aborigines, came as
long ago as 20,000 years or before
ice-age mammales became extinct.
