"Lockit," I sez, “I never talk donations before

you’re talking about?”
“He’s you,” he sez. "Old No. 1, Stanley B.

“That’s me,” I comes back, “but what about
this donation stuff? I give to a lot of worthy
organizations, but I was never asked to donate
to myself before!”
"That’s just it,” he replies. “Lots of people
don’t know how important it is to make a little
donation to themselves, regularly. They don’t
even know how easy it is!”
“You mean putting something aside for the
future?” I ask.
"I mean saving the modern, streamlined,
sure way—by signing up for U. S. Savings Bonds
on the Payroll Savings Plan where you work,
or, if this plan is not available to you, the Bond
A-Month Plan v/here you bank!”
‘‘Listen Pally,” I interrupts, ‘‘I know all
about U.S. Savings Bonds! I know there’s no
safer, surer investment a guy can make! Fur
thermore, I know that Bonds pay 4 dollars for
every 3 dollars invested, in ten years!”
“Well, ain’t you the one!” he sez.
“And to go you one better,” I continues,
“I’ve already signed up for one of those auto
matic plans! Nov/ I don’t have to worry
about saving. It’s done for me, regularly every
month!”
