"Keep Freedom in your future!”
Do you often think about the fact that
the search for freedom has brought men
and women to these shores for hundreds
of years?
And here, for all those years, their sear-
ch has ended, successfully.
You see, since we are a nation of im-
migrants who came seeking freedom, pers-
onal and national liberty have special plac-
es in our tradition!
This is one of the reasons every Ameri-
can wants to have an active part in GUARD-
ING these FREEDOMS.
And that, indeed, may explain why so
many men and women choose to save with
United States Savings Bonds.
Join the trend.
Buying bonds regularly helps build
America’s strength while the buyer’s own
financial security is growing.
It’s good business and PATRIOTIC busi-
ness!
