WHO SAID YOU
CAN V SAVE
ENOUGH TO RETIRE?
f ITS ALL
CLEAR SAILING NOW,
TOM, THANKS TO US.
. SAVINGS’BONDS I
Otart now to make your retirement
easy., through U.S. Savings Bonds I
IT’S not hard to figure out what you’d
like to do 10 or 20 years from now
when it’s time to retire—if you have the
money. A trip to Tahiti—a home all your
own with a garden for puttering. Such
dreams come true easily, if you start
investing now in United States Series E
Savings Bonds.
It’s easy to save the
U. S. Savings Bond way
Join the Payroll Savings Plan where you
work. Just tell your company payroll
department how much you want to save
each payday. They’ll do the rest—saving
out that amount from your check before
you have a chance to spend it. If you’re
seif-employed, invest in Bonds regularly
where you bank.
It’s safe to savo tho
U. S. Savings Bond way
There’s no sense taking chances when it
comes to retirement. Be smart and be
sure. Bonds are one of the safest, surest
investments in the world today.
it pays to savo the
U. S. Savings Bond way
When held to maturity each Series E
Bond pays an average of 3% per year,
compounded semiannually. Now with
the automatic extension privilege it will
go or. paying thf t same fine interest for
10 more years.
If you want your interest as current in
come, ask your banker about 3% Series
H Bonds that pay interest semiannually^
by Treasury check.
