Ill Two Good Savings Plans... 1. Passbook savings plan. This is a “regular” sav ings account and is completely flexible. Any amount opens your account. You add or withdraw any amount at any time. Earnings are added at regular intervals, and compounded. Your passbook gives you a com plete recoi’d of all transactions, which you can han dle in person or by mail as you prefer. 2. Certificate savings plan. When you agree to in vest your savings with a specified minimum amount for a specified minimum period of time, we can pay you a higher rate than we pay on a regular passbook savings account. Certificate savings accounts earn from the day you open the account to the date of ma turity and are available to business corporations as well as individuals, etc. YOU CAN LEAVE EARNINGS TO COMPOUND EVERY 3 MONTHS OR HAVE THEM MAILED TO YOU BY CHECK. WHERE YOU SAVE DOES MAKE A DIFFER ENCE. /f£iv£el , t
