a young infantryman bathes his weary feet if
in his steel helmet. With the aid of an American
magazine, an American cigaret, he snatches
a few brief dreams of home and peace. Soon
he’ll be back at his job in defense of the
way of life he’s left for a while.
1 <}-i can do a vitally important job for defense^ .
too—and easily! All you have to do is start
buying U. S. Defense Bonds regularly. Why is !
^this important? Because America's defense :
begins at home! When you are financially inde- !
/pendent and your family is secure, our
country’s economy is strong. That strength
backs up our armed strength—and it takes both
to keep America at peace. For today, peace
is only for the strong!
So go to the pay office where you work and
sign up for the Payroll Savings Plan, or join
the Bond-A-Month Plan where you bank. But
do it today. Your savings can save America!
The U. S. Defense Bonds you buy give you
personal financial independence
Don’t forget that bonds are now a better buy
than ever. Because now every Series E Bond
you own can automatically go on earning
interest every year for 20 years from date of
purchase instead of 10 as before! This means
that the bond you bought for $18.75 can
return you not just $25—but as much as
$33.33! A $37.60 bond pays $66.66. And so
on. For your security, and your country’s
too, buy U. S. Defense Bonds now! Bankers
recommend them as one of the safest forms
of investment.
Peace is for the strong...
