500 Of 8,000 Should Believe In Cuero
This newspaper believes there are at least 500 among
Cuero's 8.000 citizens who would like to see their city grow
and prosper.
We also believe there are few among this 500 who realize
that, because they failed to demonstrate their faith and In-
terest, they may Individually be responsible for Cuero's ap-
parent lack of progress during the past several years.

Start planning today for carefree tomorrows
through Payroll'Savings
Now’s the time to prepare for that fishing tnp you’ve always
wanted to take—or that winter vacation on the beach—or that
biggest vacation of all, your retirement years. These and other
goals are within your reach if you start investing in U. S. Savings
Bonds through the Payroll Savings Plan.
It’s the easiest savings plan ever devised. Just tell tho people in
your pay office how much (or how little) you want to set aside
each payday. They do your saving for you. setting aside that
amount before you get your check. Then, when you have enough
for a Bond, they buy and turn over to you a U. S. Series E Savings
Bond. That’s when your nest egg really starts growing, because
each Bond earns an average of 3% interest, compounded semi-
annually—for as long as 19 years and S months!
The chart on this page shows you how close you actually are tm
that long-awaited vacation . . . that retirement day . . . that
down payment on a new home. Why not start working inward it
today? Sign up at the pay office where you work for the Payroll
Savings Plan. Or, if you're self-employed, ask your hanker to
enroll you in the Bond-A-Month Plan.
Your saving is done for you — with U. S. Savings Bonds
