The po'"+i. 70 get me cat skinned! !

There's more'n one way to skin cat.
And, in key with the old American proverb,
there's more than one way to provide for your
family's education and future.
But there's one special way which millions Of
Americans have found lately to be the easiest,
surest, most foolproof way of all.
That's the Payroll Savings Plan-started for
War Bonds, now being used to buy U. S. Savings
Bonds. Through it, you pile up money safely,
surely-week after week, month after month,
Nogales international., 1946-03-22

year after year.
Best investment in the Wide World!
Listen to this: All the resources of the
United States are behind Savings Bonds-yet
they pay better interest than anything of COM
parable safety. You still get bucks at maturity
for every put in.
So hang on to this good American idea. Keep
your Payroll Savings Plan in force. Keep on
buying us. Savings Bonds. And you'll have that
financial security cat skinned before you know it!
