OF NEW YORK

NEW UNITED STATES SAVINGS BONDS
To the Chief Executive Officer of each Commercial Bank
in the Second Federal Reserve District:
Recently you received a letter, dated June 23, 1952, signed jointly in behalf of the Federal and
State supervisory authorities and by the President of the American Bankers Association, asking that you
support the Treasury Department’s new Savings Bond program by informing the public of the increased
attractiveness of the recently revised Savings Bonds.
It is only by bringing to the attention of the public the improved investment characteristics of the
new bonds, that the Savings Bond program can be made to contribute to sound debt management. In this
period of deficit financing it is particularly important that more of the public’s savings be invested in
United States Savings Bonds. In this way the public can help reduce the Treasury’s need to borrow from
commercial banks, thus tending to check inflationary additions to the money supply and upward pressures
on costs and prices.
You know of the recent changes in the terms o f Savings Bonds and you recognize the advantages of
the Savings Bond program. Many people do not. By reminding your customers of the program and
its opportunities you will be doing a service to them and to the nation. Posters, pamphlets, and envelope
stuffers (to be mailed with monthly statements) may be of assistance to you in bringing the facts about
Savings Bonds to the attention of your customers, thus stimulating their interest in buying and keeping
them. If you can use material of this sort, or if you would like any other assistance in connection with
the Savings Bond program, this Bank and your State office of the U. S. Savings Bonds Division of the
Treasury Department will be glad to help. U. S. Savings Bond Division offices are located at:
2 53 Broadway,
9 7 2 Broad Street,
N ew York 7, N . Y .
Newark 2, N . J.
4 0 3 Federal Building,
135 High Street,
Hartford 1, Conn.
Your continued cooperation in this important national effort will be appreciated.
President.
