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-
ernment 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 make
Americans? the saving-esfpiV*
pie in the world.
Another thing bankers are in-
terested in: Bond dollars Mp
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 yean,
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 enjox
them. ~ "
"America's Banks are proud to be part of the Bond Program,"
"Wo believe it Is good for
America as an economic
stabilizer; it is good for the
individual and the commu-
nity; and it is good for
says Carl A. Bimson, President, Valley National Bank,
Phoenix, Arizona, and President, American Bankers Association.
savers, to revitalize the
American traction of thrift,
and to builcTOavings in all
forms to record levels.
"The American Bankers As-
sociation congratulates the
Nation and the public on
the 20-year success story of
the U.S. Savings Bonds Pro-
gram, and pledges its vig-
orous continued support"
