By Chocolate Corp., Estates And School
In the spotlight here for the
next several weeks will be that
great dual-purpose American
item — the Series E United
States Savings Bond. Its twin
purpos e: "Strengthening
America's Peace Power" and
providing personal peace of
mind through personal sav-ings.
During the coming period
the Hershey Chocolate Cor-poration,
Hershey Estates and
Milton Hershey School will co-
, operate with the U. S. Treas-ury
in Savings Bonds Cam-paigns,
with emphasis on the
popular Payroll Deduction

May 19.
Hershey- Estates and the
Milton Hershey School will
hold their campaigns through-out
all divisions during the

this sound and easy-to-do sys-tem

a Company - Wide .Savings
Bond Campaign during, the
week of May 19. At that time,
you will be given an oppor-tunity
to sign up for U. S.'
Saving Bonds, or to consider
additional purchases if you
are already subscribing.
"Regular purchases of Sav-ings
Bonds through.the Pay-roll
Savings Plan will, in
addition to helping keep Am-erica

the U. S. Savings Bonds Cam-paign
will be your contribu-tion
to 'Strengthening Am-erica's
Peace Power.'"
A strong economy is the
backbone of the nation's
power for peace.
