TRAVEL
FUNDS
PROTECTED
AGAINST LOSS
OR THEFT
Safeuarding money against
loss when one travels is as
Important as protecting it by
deposit when at home—and
is just as easy. You merely
convert your travel funds
here, before you start, into
American Express Travelers
Cheques. They are readily
spendable as cash, and if lost
or stolen, the amount in
volved is refunded to you.
The cost of the protection
Is but 75c on each $100.
Minimum 40c. There is no
time limit on use. Thous
ands of people carry these
protective Cheques when
away from home, and find
them invaluable. This is
one of the bank's services
to the traveling public.

I Uncle Sam Says ;
BEN
FRANKLIN
Says:
THRIFT
GET5 ^
RESULTS U
>■—--Hi
Benjamin Franklin said that it was
not what a person earned but what
he saved out of his earnings that
oounted. Millions of Americans who
are buying Savings Bonds regularly
know Ben Franklin was right. An al
lotment of |3.75 a week for Bonds
for 10 years would provide you with
£1,163.45, In your own Interest, you
should be as wise as millions of your
countrymen today who are practic
ing what Ben Franklin preached—
thrift gets results.
