 Perhaps you want to go to college when you get old enough Perhaps you want to buy a bicycle or some roller skates or a tool chest or book. You can have any of these things If you will only>save for them.
 Think of what you want most in the world, then save for it. Keep on saving all Summer throughout your va cation. When school opens next Fall bring your Bank with the money in it. Your teacher will open 1t and help you ed to see how much you will have"
 When the bank is delivered to a child an honor pledge is signed, which reads as follows:
 'I realize that this Bank is the prop erty of the United States Treasury De partment and Is loaned to me for the Summer only. I will use the Bank to help me save during my Summer va. cation I promise to bring it back tc school next September in good condi 1. ton, and I will then exchange myfsav. ings for Thrift Stamps and War Say ings Stamps"
