Changing times demand changing and flexi ble approaches to your security. These are two of the most intelligent solutions we've experi enced in years, and it's a pleasure to announce them. First', the 8 time certificate. This particu lar savings plan is an extension of our proven certificate plans. It requires only a $1,000 minimum deposit for an eight year period. The annual yield is 8.45. This is a very good, guaranteed return we feel will surely be attractive to profit minded investors. The second plan provides a tremendous opportunity to keep current with the money market. We call it the Premier Account, and here's how it works. Simply, we can now pay you up V of a percent more than the average rate on the latest six month Treasury Bill. That may sound complicated, but here are two ex amples of how it will work. For the seven day period of May 25th through May 31st, the Treasury Bill paid 7.14. Our Premier Account would have paid you 7.39 interest. Or an annual yield of 7.78. And it only requires a six month commitment with a $10,000 minimum! Another example: let's say the Treasury Bill paid 8 for one of the periods. We would pay 8V2! That would be a yield of 9 for the six month period. We feel the Premier Account will probably generate considerable attention so we have established an "Interest Line" for your convenience. In Pendleton call 276-3472. In Hermiston 567-6480. The Milton-Freewater number is 938-3330. In Heppner call 676-9022 on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Boardman call 481-9494 on Mondays, Wednesday and Fridays. Please call anytime during working hours to receive the latest rate on the Premier Account. Both of these new profit generating savings accounts are now active. I hope I've explained these new programs throughly to ycu. If not, please call one of our offices and talk to a savings counselor. They'll be -lappy to provide more details. Thanks for your time. We hope to hear from you soon." Note: An interest penalty is charged for early withdrawal. commitment to you.
