goes by pretty
fast. But, if you
put aside the
money you earn
in that time, in
just one month
(assuming you make $100.00 a week),
you’d have enough to buy a $25.00
Savings Bond.
Keep it up for 40 months, and you’ll
have Bonds worth $1,000 at maturity.
Save 30 minutes pay a day, and in 40
months you’ll have a stack of Bonds
worth $2,000 at maturity.
What makes it even easier for you is
the Payroll Savings Plan. Your Bond
balance grows every month—and you
hardly know you’re saving.
' SOME MORE ADVANTAGES YOU
MIGHT THINK ABOUT
You can save automatically with the
Payroll Savings Plan. Tell your com-
pany how much to save for you each
payday for Bonds. This way you
won’t forget to save and your savings
will add up automatically.
You now get 3%% interest, to
maturity. This new rate, which went
into effect Juno 1, 1959, makes your
Bond money grow faster. Series E

Bonds now mature 14 months eartier
than before—in just 7 years, 9
months. Bonds bought before June 1,
1959, earn more, too—an extra Yi%
from then to maturity.
You can get your money, with in-
terest, any time you want it. Bonds
are a ready reserve that you can cash
any time at any bank. But it pays to
keep them.
Your money is guaranteed by the
U.S. Government. Bonds are an
absolutely riskless investment. The
Government promises you that the
cash value of your Bond will not
