PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE
Believing that our employees would like to have
an opportunity to help our Government in its Defense
Program, and by so doing, set aside a certain portion
of their earnings as a savings account, our Company
has decided upon a plan of voluntary systematic sav
ings available to all employees who care to participate.
Your money, in addition to providing a sound in
vestment guaranteed by our Government, will be put to
work at once in the National Defense Program to pro
tect the safety and the freedom of the United States of
The Plan is a simple one, whereby the Company
will buy for each employee who so desires, United
States Defense Savings Bonds, Series E, $25.00 denom
inations, as rapidly as his or her savings accumulate
through monthly deductions from his or her earnings.
Participation in the Plan will be wholly voluntary.
I hope that all of you will wholeheartedly take
advantage of the wonderful opportunity to help our
Government by making such sound investment,
all of us put our shoulders to the wheel and push
Ecusta “over the top”.
I thank you. HARRY H. STRAUS,
President.

Wonderful Opportunity To Join In
The Defense Program
Employees of Ecusta Paper Corpor
ation, Champagne Paper Corporation
and Endless Belt Corporation are now
able to join in the defense program
by purchasing Defense Bonds through
the salary deduction plan. This plan
is outlined in the following para
graphs:
I. Intoduction
A. To povide a means by which
employees may set aside regularly,
a part of their earnings for the pur
chase of United States Defense Sav
ings Bonds, there has been estab
lished, and will be administered under
the terms and conditions hereinafter
set forth, a monthly payroll deduction
plan.
B. The Defense Savings Bonds to
be purchased under this Plan are the
Series E Bonds of $25.00' denomina
tions. The cost of each bond is $18.75
and it matures in 10 years. The Bonds
are issued by, and are direct obliga
tions of, the United States Govern
ment. They are not transferable, are
non-negotiable, and have no collateral
or loan value.
C. Investment yield equals 2.9%
compounded semi-annually when Bond
is held to maturity. Bonds may be
cashed at any time after 60 days from
date of issue during the first year at
the redemtion value (which is cost
price) fixed by the Treasury Depart
ment. After they have been held
more than one year the surrender
value is greater than cost and in
creases every half year.
D. Registration — Defense Savings
Bonds can be registered only as fol
lows:
1. In the name of one person.
2. In the name of two persons as
co-owners.
