Remember, too, that in 10 years your savings invest- ed in Series E Defense Bonds will increase by 33} per- cent, and that you can cash the Bonds at any time after " 60 days of their issue date, if this becomes necessary. Naturally the longer you hold the Bonds, up to 10 years, the more money you’ll get back. But you'll never get less than you put in. If every person who receives a regular income ?dop.ts a war saving program such as here suggested, it will mean a total of over 10 billion dollars a year, urgently needed to insure victory. Find your own income level; then resolve to pledge the maximum you can afford. cooperating with the U. S. Treasury Department during this nation-wide drive fo give EVERY American the opportunity to win the war through the steady, systematic purchase of Defense Bonds. This does not mean that the Pledge card is an order form. Itisn’t. In signing it you simply pledge yourself to save a definite amount of money voluntarily, at regular, stated periods. Whatever you decide to save it is up to you. Also, there will be no set quotas and you will be under no com- pulsion o sign. The amount you pledge will be held in strictest confidence. When you have signed the Pledge card, the “Minute Man" will give you a window sticker which reads: “We Are Buying U. S. Defense Bonds and Stamps,"’showing that you, too, are doing your part to help win the war. Naturally, the more you pledge to save for Defense Bonds, the better. This is not a “token”” war. Itis a fight to the finish against the most ruth- less and relentless enemies we have ever faced. When you invest your dollars in Defense Bonds, you not only help buy guns, tanks, and planes needed fo defat those enemies, you help keep prices down. At the same time you will be building for the future— YOUR future, as well as your country's. 4 So decide NOW to pledge the limit, For VICTORY!
