Your bank
and you
How this 20-year-old partnership
helps keep America strong
Since May 1941, America's
banks have sold nearly 2 bil-
lion separate U.S. Savings
Bonds at no cost to the Gov-
emment or the taxpayers.
To give you some idea of the
time involved: if you merely
handed out that many Bonds
at the rate of 1 a second for
10 hours a day, it would take
you 152 years to reach the
bottom of the pile.
Why have the nation's banks
and bankers carried on this
vast project of information,
service, and issuance of U.S.
Savings Bonds?
A winning team. For one
reason, the Bond Program
and the Banking business
have grown together. Hand in
hand, they've helped wairg
Americans the savmg-est peo-
ple in the world.
Another thing bankers are in-
terested in: Bond dollars.help
keep America strong. A good
reason for the banking busi-
ness or any business to get
behind the Bond program.
What you buy at the
Bond window. Savings
Bonds are guaranteed to
grow: $18.75 becomes $25 in
7 years, 9 months, and grows
to $36.25 in another 10 years.
If they're lost or destroyed,
the Treasury Department re-
places them free.
Buy and hold U.S. Savings
Bonds — for the things you
want, and the Peace to enjoy
them.
