£ a y s Madeleine Carroll
Have you ever heard a story about someone
that made you want to meet him? Well, I’ve just
heard one. A story about a sincere, patriotic citizen
who is doing something practical about his future
»nH the peaceful future of his country by investing
in XL S. Savings Bonds. A story about you! And
one that ought to make you feel proud.
I felt good, too, when I heard what a great success
story the U. S. Savings Bond Program has turned
out to be. For you see, I’m a Savings Bond owner
■gyBelf! And when you stop to think about how you
«id I and millions of our friends and neighbors all
over America now own more than 49 billion
dollars worth of our country’s interest-earning
tjonds—it makes you realize what a wonderful
country we live in and what fine people our fellow
Americans really are!
For no one has forced us to invest in Savings
Bonds. We have invested of our own free will
until today 1 out of every 4 men, women and
children in Ameri ca is a Savings Bond owner. That’s
the greatest success story of its kind the world has
ever known!
I believe you’ll agree that we’ve done this, not
only because we have found that U. S. Savings
Bonds are one sure way to save money. But because
we’re convinced they represent a concrete way to
help bring peace and security—in a world where
we have come to learn that peace is only for the
strong! I’m a Bond owner; I hope you are, too!

Great News! New money-earning features
for United States Savings Bands!
FIRST—Thanks to new Treasury regulations, every
Series E Bond you invest in begins earning interest
after only 6 months. It earns 3% interest com
pounded semiannually when held to maturity. It
reaches full maturity valueeariier (9 years 8 months)
and the interest it pays is now bigger at the start.
SECOND—Every Series E Bond you own can now go
on earning interest for 10 more years after it reaches
the original maturity date—without your lifting
a finger!
THIRD—All maturing E Bonds automatically earn
interest at the new, higher rate (average 3% com
pounded semiannually) for 10 more years. Your
original $18.75 can now repay you $33.6?. $37.50
pays back $67.34. And so on.
FOURTH—If you want to be paid the interest your
Bonds are earning every six months, ask at your
bank about the new Series H Savings Bonds.
