and I couldn't have asked for better or more
economical service," says Mrs. Franklin. "I
have had experience with other automatic
refrigerators and find no comparison in oper-
ating cost."

Want to be sum of
getting hit with
$ Horseshoe f
Enough people have been lucky to give rise to
this expression.
But by and large the people who get hit with a
horseshoe are few and far between.
And those who are lucky enough to have a nice
little sum of money left them by great-aunt Susan
or third-cousin Joe are scarcer than hen's teeth
However—there is a way to make sure you'll
get hit with a horseshoe... in the form of money..,
... and that's to buy U.S. Savings Bonds through
the Payroll Savings Plan.
Never before in the history of man has there
been a chance like this for ordinary people to save.
It's painless! It's easy! It's safe! Try it next pay-
day! No better opportunity exists to make money
come your way when you need or want it.
: Put more opportunity
in your future!
