"I signed up to buy Savings Bonds on the Pay
roll Plan when I was first employed here three
years ago. I had no special reason for buying
Bonds on the Plan other than it seemed to be an
ideal way to save money—and, believe me, it was.
"Thus far I haven’t had any emergencies to come
up to cause me to have to cash any Bonds, but if
a situation does arise those Bonds should really
help out.
"Some of my Bonds may go toward paying off
the remaining amount due on my house, but not
for several years yet. You know the longer we hold
onto Bonds the more we get for them when we
cash them. One of the best ways I’ve found to
avoid the temptation of cashing Bonds is to buy
them in larger denominations. Instead of buying
a smaller Bond every month, buy a larger one
every two months. You’ll find as I have, that
you’re not as apt to cash a larger Bond as you are
a smaller one—unless a real emergency comes up.”

"I started buying Bonds during World War II
mainly because it was the patriotic thing to do and
because it seemed a good way to build up a good
savings account. For me, the Payroll Savings Plan
turned out to be the easiest way to save.
"I try to hold onto my Bonds as long as possible
without cashing them. Several times though, I had
to cash a few to meet medical expenses. They
came in mighty handy then, believe me.
'My youngest daughter is still in High School
and still hasn’t decided whether or not to go to
college. If she does decide to go, then I’ll have the
money in Bonds with which to send her.”

"Buying U. S. Savings Bonds on the Payroll Sav
ings Plan is one of the best ways I know of to save
money. I started having the company set aside a
certain amount of my earnings every week for
Bonds back in 1946. It wasn’t long before I real
ized that the Payroll Plan made it mighty easy to
save toward future needs and emergencies.
"The Bonds I bought those first few years
helped in a big way when I built and furnished
my house. Now, I’m trying to hold onto my Bonds
as long as I can. We read in the papers every day
about the United States doing things as a security
measure—well, one of the best measures we can
take to insure our own personal security is to buy
Bonds through the Payroll Savings Plan.”
