It
Costs No More To Give More—
If You Give The Bonus In Savings Bonds!
If your company is one of the more than 45,000 companies
that have the Payroll Savings Plan you knoiv
what your employees think of Savings Bonds — they
spell it out for you every month in their Savings Bond
allotments.
If you don't have the Payroll Savings Plan, and are
wondering whether your people would like to receive
their honus in Bonds, here are a few^ significant facts:
—every month, before they get their pay checks or
envelopes—8,500.000 men and women enrolled in
the Payroll Savings Plan invest $160,000,000 in
U. S. Savings Bonds.
—Payroll Savers hold their Bonds: From May 1,
1951, to September 30, 1955, approximately $18.7
billion E Bends reached 10-year maturity dates.
On September 30, 1955, approximately 70.3 % of the
matured bonds were retained by their owners under
the automatic extension plan. With additional interest
earned since maturity dates ( $560 million),
cash value of the matured bonds held by individuals
amounts to approximately $13.7 bfllion.
—on September 30, 1955, the cash value of Series E
and H Bonds — the kind sold only to individualstotaled
39.7 billion dollars, a new high.
To the Payroll Saver, and to the man who buys his
Bonds at a bank (because his company does not provide
the Payroll Savings Plan I a One Hundred Dollar
Savings Bond looks bigger and better and is bigger and
better, than a check for $75. Make this a merrier
Christmas for every employee. Give the gift that keeps
