Defense is your job, too!
Here is a group of strong, healthy young
American soldiers enjoying an after-chow
gab session while they polish up for tomorrow’s
inspection. They are a part of the best-fed,
best-equipped, best-cared-for Army in the
world—the United States Army. And they are
just like the boys from your home town, from
your own block, who are training now to do a
job of defending your country—and you.
Defense is your job, too.
And one of the best ways for you to do that
job is to buy U. S. Defense* Bonds. For your
Defense Bonds help maintain America’s eco
nomic strength just as these boys help maintain
her military strength. Go to the Pay Office
where you work and sign up for the Payroll
Savings Plan, or join the Bond-A-Month Plan
where you bank. But do it today!
The U. S. Defense Bonds you buy give
you personal financial independence
Remember that when you’re buying Defense
Bonds you’re building a personal reserve of
cash savings. Money that will some day buy
you a house or educate your children, or sup
port you when you retire. Remember, too,
that if you don’t save regularly, you generally
don’t save at all. So go to your company’s
pay office—now—and sign up to buy Defense
Bonds through the Payroll Savings Plan.
Don’t forget that bonds are now a better
buy than ever. Because now every Series E
Bond you own automatically goes on earning
interest every year for 20 years from date of
purchase instead of 10 as before! This means
that the bond you bought for $18.75 can re
turn you not $25—but as much as $33.33—
if you just hold it the extra ten years! A
$37.50 bond pays $66.66. And so on. For your
security, and your country’s, too, buy U. S.
Defense Bonds now l
