The man who’ll be elected President in 1960 may be walking down your block right now. He doesn’t know he’s headed for the ‘White House—any more than you can ac- curately predict what you’ll be doing 13 years from today. But you can take a lot of the guesswork out of your future by building a cushion of savings to fall back on—just in case. Either of two fine plans for buying U. S. Savings Bonds offers you a wonderfully easy way to build such a cushion. The famous, automatic, almost painless Payroll Savings Plan is one. ' And if the Payroll Plan is not available to you—and you do have a checking ac- count—your bank is the place to sign up for the new, convenient Bond-A-Month ' Plan. Join either—and you're electing a good measure of financial security for you and your family. For Government-backed U. & Savings Bonds are absolutely safe ... pay you back $400 for every $300 you put in ’em, after ten years! Save the easy, automatic way- with U. S.
