Itw Payroll Savings Plan waa born aarly in
the war.
Millions of patriotic Americana hastened
to join it.
We soon found out that, through it, we
were not only helping to win the war, but
saving money for ourselves. Saving money
regularly, and pretty painlessly.
Many of us discovered, for the first time
in our lives, an absolutely sure way of put-
ting aside a part of our earnings—of accu-
mulating a cash reserve.
The war is over now.
let's keep sp this sure and easy way of
saving money I
let's Maintain the hopes of financial inde-
pendence—rll the dreams that, through this
plan of regular saving, are well on their way
toward coming true.
let's fatten the geese that's laid the golden
nest eggs for nearly 30 million people.
Let's keep on baying Victory Bonds. Let's
keep on buying them through the Payroll
Savings Plan.
And then let's hold those Bonds till
they mature. Sounds like a sensible idea,
doesn't it?
