From the very start the buyers of United States Savings Bonds have been purchasing opportunity w/ every bond. They have been buying the opportunity to thrive & prosper; farmers, factory workers, bankers, merchants, school teachers, housewives: all are buying security for themselves & for each other when they buy Savings Bonds. Savings Bonds mean more than freedom from financial worry; they signify that the owner is an active participant in the affairs of his government, as every citizen should be. The Savings Bond is your certificate that you have a share in your country & when a great many people own these certificates it makes this a better country.” Standing applause.
