Nowall your
U.S. Savings Bonds pay
higher interest
mm
Mtn ‘iM.
^'suflESE
Now it’s official.
Now one of the safest investments
in the world brings you new and
higher returns.
Now your U.S. Savings Bonds
pay the highest interest in history:
a full 5 per cent when held to
maturity of 5 years and 10 months.
(4% the first year; 5.20% thereafter
to maturity.) Previously, these Bonds
earned you only 4^/4%
them for seven years.
The new interest began June 1,
1969. So all of the Bonds you own,
no matter when you bought them,
have been collecting higher interest
since that time.
Those Bonds are still replaced if
lost, stolen or burned.
You can still buy them through
Payroll Savings or the Bond-a-Month
plan.
Regardless of your other invest
ments, can you think of any easier,
better, or safer way to build a nest
egg for yourself?
It’s nice to know that you are
doing a little something for Uncle
Sam, too. The $52 billion in U.S.
Savings Bonds now outstanding in
the hands of millions of Americans
go a long way toward keeping your
country financially strong.
There never was a belter time
to take stock in
America.
There’s a mans
the place where
you work who
can start you on
the Payroll Sav
ings Plan right now.
Bonds are safe. If lost, stolen, or destroyed, wc replace them.
When needed, they can be cashed at your bank. Tax may be deferred
ontU redemption. And always remember, Bonds are a proud way to save.
