CONGRATULATIONS on Your 15th Anniversary
May 1st marked the Fifteenth Anniversary of the introduction
of the Series E Savings Bonds. In a deeper
sense it was your anniversary, because you, in 1941,
helped to initiate and build a thrift movement new to
America—The Payroll Savings Plan for the purchase of
Series E Bonds.
In the intervening years millions of m'^.i and women
have invested billions of dollars in Series E Bonds
through the Payroll Savings Plan.
Today, forty million Americans hold Series E and
Series H Bonds (the H Bond was introduced in 1952)
with a cash value of more than $40 billion — a reservoir
of future purchasing power. In addition. Savings Bonds
have paid for college educations, new homes, retirements
and other family needs.
To the executives of more than 40,000 companies that
have the Payroll Savings Plan ... the 8,000,000 employed
men and women who invest $160 million per
month in Series E Bonds . . . the publishers of 500 business
papers and the managements of radio, television
and other media who give freely of their space . . . the
Advertising Council . . . the advertising agencies who
contribute their skills
... to all of you who have had a
part in the success of the Payroll Savings Plan, the
United States Treasury offers its heartfelt thanks.
