"We feel very privileged to bring you excit
ing news about new profit opportunities for
your savings investment.
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.
