Savings Bonds Will
Help You Find Security
Financial security!
That is a rather trite expression. But
trite or not, how better can you express
the thing that most of us are working
toward?
After years of toil, and when we
reach the age when our bodies and
minds are a little tired of the every
day job of making a living, we want
to take a rest. In many cases we are
at least partly prepared for that time
through pensions and Social Security.
But there is something else we can do
to be assured that we have enough not
only to live on but to do those little
extra things we have always wanted to
do.
The “something else” is systematic
savings! You may say that it is very
difficult to save these days because of
high prices. Yet many millions of people
are able to do so. There is a trick to it.
The trick is “regularity.” You don’t
have to save a large amount. Save a
small amount — and watch the total
accumulate! Once you get in the habit,
it’s easy to continue.
All you do is determine how much
you want to save each week or month,
see your supervisor and sign a form
authorizing the payroll department to
deduct the money. Then you sit back
and let them deliver U. S. Savings
Bonds to you as they are paid up.
ALL-WEATHEE QUALITY
“It’s what you do when things get
tough that counts most.” That is a real
test of a person —and of a company.
Take quality, for example. It’s one
thing to maintain high quality stand
ards when all is going well. It’s a lot
harder to do so when costs are high
and things go wrong. Then the temp
tation is strong to cut dowm standards
of quality.
But the man or the company whose
reputation for quality workmanship
stands up through “thick and thin,
wins friends who are likely to stick
through “thick and thin.”
