JF YOU GO to the end of a rainbow, so the fairy tales say, you'll find a pot of gold. Of course no grownup believes this. But it's surprising how many people believe what amounts to the same thing. That is, many of us have a dreamy notion that somewhere, sometime, we'll come upon a good deal of money. We couldn't say exactly how this might happen—but we go along from day to day, spending nearly all we make, and believing that somehow our financial future will take care of itself. Unfortunately, this sort of rainbow-chasing is much more apt to make you wind up behind the eight ball than with a pot of gold. When you come right down to it, the only sure-fire way the average man can plan financial security for himself and his family is through saving—and saving regularly. One of the soundest, most convenient ways to save is by buying U. S. Savings Bonds through the Payroll Plan. These bonds are the safest in the world. When you buy 'em through the Payroll Plan, they mount up fast. And in just 10 years, they pay you $4 back for every $3 you put in. They'll come in mighty, mighty handy when the time comes to send your kids to college, to buy a house, or to weather a rainy day. So isn't it just plain common sense to buy every U. S. Savings Bond you can possibly afford? You bet it is! P. S. You can buy U. S. Savings Bonds at any bank or post office, as well as at your place of business.
