It’s a warm and wonderful thing to know that for
the first time in hundreds of years fighting men’s
lives are being saved by protective body armor
which really works. These men are our American
soldiers and marines. And their new bullet-proof
vest is made from the same miracle fabric that
gives our women their enchantingly sheer hosiery
—nylon!
Top marine officers at the front say that the new
armor has not only saved hundreds of lives in its
first few months of duty, but it has made the
brave men who wear it more confident and coura
geous than ever. In a way you have contributed
to this new bravery—if you have invested in
United States Defense Bonds.
For by Bonds and other forms of saving you and
other thrifty Americans have built up not only
your own personal financial security but that of
your country as well. And only a prosperous and
strong country like ours could afford to think of
her fighting men as individuals. To spend the
time and effort and money necessary to the kind
of life-saving research which is continually work
ing for the protection of each and every one of
those men. That’s what it takes to develop and
produce a bullet-proof vest.
If you aren’t investing in Bonds regularly, why
don’t you join the millions who belong to the con
venient Payroll Savings Plan. The Plan that
makes saving easier because it saves something
out of your pay check before you have a chance to
spend it. Join the Payroll Savings Plan where you
work today. Or invest through the Bond-A
Month Plan where you bank.

original maturity date—without your lifting a linger!
