It's Smart to Save
Where It's MORE Profitable!
All of us try to get the best value for every dollar we spend. Why
not apply the same wisdom to the money we save? An account
at American Savings earns 21/2 per cent, a higher-than-average
rate—makes savings easier to keep intact—less tempting to
withdraw. Remember, too, at American Savings, funds received
by the 10th, earn from the 1st of the month. Naturally it's smart
to "Save the American Way"—because it's more more profitable.
