YOU KNOW IT’S TRUE NBCAUSE IT’S HAPPENED TO YOU

IGH
F- r,f'T'\BLY you’ve never of
yourself as a maker of -
But you are. And here is how is
a citizen of the United Slal ’• ■
creating the greatest success in all
history.
Remember back in 1941 when the
Defense Bonds you were buying sud
denly had to become War Bonds? How
you and your neighbors pitched in to
buy them in ever-increasing numbers,
to back our fighting men and to help
achieve the victory of World War II?
After V-J Day, when those bonds
became Savings Bonds, you continued
to buy them because you had learned
how regular saving could build secu
rity and contentment for yourself and
those you love.
The face of the lanu nas undergone
some dramatic changes in those years
since V-J Day. Now the landscape is
dotted with new homes that Savings
Bonds built. Thousands upon thou
sands of new automobiles travel the
highways—Savings Bonds cars, bought
with the product of individual thrift.
On the farms Pm-1 ’ '"d erjuip
ment has helped produce bumper crops
and prosperous years. Everywhere in
America, man’s urge to get into busi
ness for himself has become a bright
reality. So has the ambition of loving
parents to send their children through
college. Time and time again, Savings
Bonds have made those dreams and
many others come true.
You KNOW they’ve come true, be
cause it’s happened tr or to
some of your own frie.
And this is only the beginning of the
story. Even after accomplishing so
much, millions of Am .11 families
still enjoy the financial security of
owning more than fifty billion dollars—
fifty thousand million dollars in
Savings Bonds. More than at the peak
of war-time Bond holdings!
flow much money is that? It’s enough
to build a new $10,000 mortgage-free
home for every family in San Francisco
—and Sacramento—and Salt Lake
City—and Denver—and Kansas City—
and St. Louis—and Indianapolis—and
Cincinnati—and Pittsburgh—and
New York City—and the whole state
of Texas!
And every week, everywhere in Amer
ica, new millions of dollars are
added to the total—as crisp new
Savings Bonds are typed up with your
name on them.
Kind of a king-size success story, isn’t
it? Your success story because you
and the millions of your neighbors are
living it right now. Your own faith in
America—your own desire for the
warmth of family security and in
dependence—have made the story
of United States Savings Bonds
the thrift miracle of all time.
