have a special reason for
celelmrting this Labor Day
Here !n AmerTca, Labor Dit before to
everyone, is celebrated br ail of us who
labor lor our living—in ractory and field,
store and office. And eight million Ameri-
cans have an extra cause lor celebration
•-because they know that some of the
atoney they work for each week is now
working for them and their futures.
These eight million Americans have joined
the Payroll Savings Plan where they work.
Through the Plan, they're saving steadily,
surely — automatically. And the money
they save is earning more and more money
—because it's invested for them in U. S.
Series E Savings Bonds. So every passing
year brings them doaer and closer to finan-
cial independence.
If you want to insure year future, make
your dreams come true, there is no easier,
surer way tiur Payroll Savings. Because
your company's pay office does your sav-
ing for you—automatically—before yon
draw your paj, —
Too fmt name die sum—a few dollars ee
as much as you want. Then, each payday,
it's invested for you in U. S. Series E Sav-
ings Bonds, and those Bonds really go to
work for you! {
Each Bond earns Interest at a year,
compounded semiannually, when held to
maturity. So, if you sign up for just five
dollars a week, in five years your savings
will grow to $1,367.90. In 9 years, t
months, youII have 12,850.70. And in 19
years, 8 months, you*11 have $6,872.45!
When you look at those figures, you begfg
to get a pretty good idea of how much the
Plan can do for yon and your family. So
why not sign up today?
If you're self-employed, ask at your bank
about the Bond-A-Month Plan. Like Plf
roll Savings, it's systematic and sure. j
If yon want your interest i « current income
ask yotrr honker about 3^c Series H Rondt
which par interest semiannually by Treas-
ury cheek. Annual limit: $20,000.
>
FnfiVe Series F Bonds, srfileh go on earn,
ing interest sfter maturity. Series A. B,
C. snd D Bonds do not. No interest has
accrued on these securities since the last
of them mstnred, in April 1951. If von
•wn A lo D Bonds (some 77 million do|.
lars' worth are still outstanding) you
should redeem them. You can profitably
reinvest the proceeds in Series E aad H
Savings Bonds al your ban*
