The Treasury’s decision to continue the payroll savings program, in order not to lose wartime gains in the field of thrift and savings, was the result of widespread demands from labor, manage ment, schools, civic and other groups, as well as from many individuals. A number of recent surveys of opinion have indicated that a very large majority of the savings bond buyers of the country share the feeling that the program should be continued. The Treasury Department and this bank extend to you our thanks and appreciation for your cooperation in making the payroll savings plan available to your employees and in issuing the bonds purchased by them thereunder. It is our hope and expectation that you will continue to help in the program by maintaining the payroll savings plan and acting as issuing agent. In this manner, your employees who during the war have learned the value of thrift may continue to save and to add systematically to their holdings of savings bonds. If you should encounter any problems or other difficulties in connec tion with the continuation of this program, we would be pleased to have you call upon us for such advice or assistance as we may be able to render. A llan S proul, President. ¿2^ 3o F E D E R A L R E S E R V E BANK O F NEW YORK Fiscal A gen t of the U nited States January 7, 1946 CONTINUATION OF ISSUANCE OF UNITED STATES SAVINGS BONDS OF SERIES E To Certain Issuing Agents in the Second Federal Reserve District Qualified for Sale o f United States Savings Bonds: The Treasury Department and this bank extend to you our thanks and appreciation for your cooperation in issuing United States Savings Bonds.

If you will continue the payroll savings plan and the issuance of bonds purchased thereunder, your employees who during the war have learned the value of thrift may continue to save and to add systematically to their holdings of savings bonds.
