A manage from the Trcanary of a free people
How to help give a new birth
to freedom
Sometimes it’s not easy to recognize
a message of freedom.
In September, 1787, the framers
Septer
of the U. S. Constitution released it
to the States for ratification. Two
States ok’d the document in a few
WQClcH
But it took until May, 1790—
three years later—before the new
nation was in accord on its basic
law.
One of the strongest documents
for freedom available to you today
is a United States Savings Bond.
By buying Savings Bonds you
help build peace-keeping machinery.
You help keep the wheels of our gov-
ernment turning smoothly. You
help carry the message of freedom to
hopeful people all over the world.
At the same time, your Bond
money grows fast to increase your
living standard and personal se-
curity—a goal that free people seem
to have a knack for reaching.
All of which points pretty strongly
to buying Savings Bonds today —at
your bank or on the payroll savings
plan where you work.
(Of course the decision is wholly
up to you . . . another nice thing
about being free.)
BUILT FOR TWO, OR MORE—“And baby makes three,”
could be the title of this bicycle built for two with side-car
for baby. Mr. and Mrs. Jim Cross, of Cardiff, Wales, solved
the transportation problem when their now 15-month-old
arrived, but expect another little “problem” late this year.
