Or invest a little. Well, we at First National Bank can make it a little easier for you to keep that promise. Because we have a variety of savings and investment programs, for every type of family every type of budget. For example: Regular Passbook Savings This familiar savings plan is the most convenient, most flexible vou'll find. It pays high bank interest, and traditionallv permits you to withdraw vour funds anytime you’d like, without advance notice! Save-O-Matic It helps vou save, in spite of yourself! Just tell us how much you'd like to save each month, and we’ll transfer that amount from your First National checking account to your regular savings account. It’s automatic. So you'll save quickly. Regularly. And painlessly! J I First Investors Passbook With this special account, you can invest in as many as three different time accounts— 90-Day, One-Year and Two-Year— all at the same time! Of course, the longer the maturity date, the more interest you earn. But a minimum opening deposit of $300, plus additional deposits of $50 or more, will keep any—or all—of vour accounts growing regularly. And quickly! Stop by First National. t Pick the plan that fits vour budget. And by this time next year, you'll have that healthy chunk of money you promised yourself. Which is, we think, something to celebrate. Deposits made to regular savings on or before January 10 earn interest from January 1. VCfeaiiketo get to know you. FIRST NATIONAL BANK OF OREGON 1
