And Savings Bonds represent security that

—and it’s a liberal 5% interest if Bonds art
held to maturity. With an earning power that
goes on for a full 19 years and 8 months,
that can mean $1.80 return for every $1.00

Why not drop into your bank today and
order a Bond for the bridal couple closest

One of the easiest ufti surest ways to provide
financial security for your new family Is
through the convenient Payroll Savings Plan:
Sign up foe it now at the pay office where
you work: Just tell the people there how
much you want to save, (it can be as link
as a couple of dollars a payday) and they’ll
put that amount aside for you each payday.
When enough accgffiuiates, they’ll buy and
