For years, this great Texas newspaper has given your government free space in which to
advertise U.S. Savings Bonds. You have seen the ads. Lately, their message has been Keep
Freedom in Your Future with U.S. Savings Bonds. These ads have sold an impressive number
of bonds in Texas. And they have helped, and are now helping, your government defend
freedom at a moment in history when freedom urgently needs defending.
"Palacios Beacon
has earned the gratitude of the people of Texas," says Ed Gossett, Chairman of the
Texas Savings Bonds Committee.
"When you buy U.S. Savings Bonds, you serve well the cause of liberty. You enable
your country to build up her defenses without doing damage to her economy. The space
occupied by the ads that pointed out these important truths was donated to your govern-
ment—and that means to you—by this ana other great Texas newspapers. We art
grateful, and we think you will be too."
