Stop by a county seat bank
any Saturday morning and
you’ll find farmers and ranch
ers at the Savings Bond win
dow.
Ever since the Savings Bond
Program began, these folks
have been among its best cus
tomers. In fact % of all cash
reserves owned by U.S. farm
ers and ranchers is invested
in U.S. Savings Bonds.,
Bonds for Business
Bonds owned by the millions
of people who run our farms
have their work cut out for
them. They replace machin
ery. Pay for new land. Provide
insurance against the risks of
farming.
They get personal assign
ments, too, like replacing the
old homestead, sending the
kids to college, and making
life more comfortable when
the tractor lumbers into the
bam for the last time.
Whytheykeep U.S.Bonds
"down on the farm"
U.S. Savings Bonds are a
“crop that never fails,” guar
anteed by the U.S. Govern
ment to grow. $18.75 becomes
$25 in 7 years, 9 months. In
10 more years, it becomes
$36.25. They can be cashed in
anytime, with interest. And
if they’re lost or destroyed,
the Treasury Department re
places them free.
Every U.S. Bond you buy is
an investment in Peace. What
better way to help your gov
ernment help you enjoy the
things you’re saving for?
