$3 s$4 fourteen months faster than before
The Bondt you own are
better than ever, too
The new 3%% rate means your sav-
ings grow faster than before with'
UJS. Savings Bonds. *3 becomes *4,
or $3,000 becomes $4,000 in just seven
years, nine months. This applies to
all Series E Bonds bought since June
1, 1959.
Then, all older Bonds, both Series
E and H, pay more now—an extra
>4% from June 1 on, when held to
maturity.
And, all Series E Bonds carry a
new 10-year extension privilege. This
means your Bonds will keep earning
liberal interest automatically after
maturity.
These three new cash benefits
make today's U.S. Savings Bonds the
finest in history. They make the ones
you own now better, too.
More advantages of U Shavings Bonds
You ean save automatically. Just tell
your company how much to deduct
every payday for Bonds, and your
Bonds will be delivered to you. This
‘way you can’t forget to save. And,
remember, the mbney you don't
touch can’t slip through your Angers.

You can get your money, with in-
terest, when you need it. Your Bonds
are a ready reserve to use anytime
you wish. But, it pays well to hold
them.
Your savings can’t be lost or’
ttolen. The U.S. Government guar-
antees to replace your Bonds, free,
if anything ever happens to them.
You save more than money. The
Bonds you buy help keep the peace
because peace costs money. Money
for better education, new scientific
research, greater military strength.
And the money you save helps
strengthen our nation’s economy
which depends on the financial
strength of individuals to keep it
sound.
Start saving with U.S. Saving*
