Bonds Pass
$2 Billion Mark
The sale of U. S. Savings Bonds
in North Carolina during March
amounted to $5,234,683. which is
an increase of 1.5 percent over
sales in March of last year. These
are the highest sales recorded for
the month of March in 23 years.
Of historical significance, total
.sales of U. S. Savings Bonds in
North Carolina passed the $2 bil
lion mark with Marcli .sales. If,
was on :\Iav 1. 19 U. that U. S.j
Savings Bonds, then called Pe- i
fen.se Bond-:, were first rTorerl!
f*>r sale. Of the amount s.ild in
the 29-year history of the Pond
Program in N. C., approximatelv
$.572 million are still in Die hands
of North Carolinians.
First quarter «aie.s of S ’* iuos
Bond.s in N. C. amounted tn
$17,01.5,147. showing a .slight in-
crea.se over 1989. Tliese .sale.** v/er:'
the best since 1947 and represent
ed 26.9 nerrent of the state’s an
nual dollar goal of $63,300,000.
In making thi.s relea.se Bland
W. Worley, Volunteer Chairman
said:
The fact that the U. 3. Savings
Ponds Program, staffed primarily
bv volunteers and operated at a
negligible cost to the U. S. Treas
ury. has in its 29-year history
sold over $2 billion in Bonds to
North Carolinian-S is truly re
markable. All North Carolinians
can take pride in this fine ac
complishment — and the individ
ual citizens who buy bonds, the
banking indu.stry, the news and
advertising media, the various or
ganizations. and the ftnployers
who support the Payroll Savings
Plan as an employee benefit pro
gram are to be commended for
their cooperation In this great all-
American thrift program.
Mr. Worley further added that
he would like to recognize George
Blanton, Jr., Cleveland County
Volunteer Chairman, for his con
tinued leadership in this program.
Sales in Cleveland County for
March were $12,366. January -
March sales totaled $178,317. 'This
represents 28.4 percent of Cleve
land county’s goal of $627,303.
