Show Utah Bond Sales Show Increase Purchase of U. S. savings bonds in Utah continue to run ahead of last year, according to Frederick P. Champ, State bonds chairman. Total purchases for the state amounted to $1,550,213 during June, or 13 per cent more than June of 1957. For the six month period ending in June, total purchases pur-chases in Utah were $9,862,283, as against last year's $8,830,347 an increase of 11.7 or a gain of more than $1 million. Salt Lake county residents purchased pur-chased $597,847 in savings bonds during June, according to word received by Frtank A. Wardlaw, Jr., County Chairman, bringing the total for the year to date to $4,156,954. "Salt Lake county has reached 54.7 per cent of its 1958 sales goal," he said. "Our banks who issue the bonds as a free public service to our citizens and our government are doing an outstanding out-standing service, which bears out Secretary Anderson's statement that every buyer of a savings bond helps provide strengthened resources for himself and for his country, which are needed now more than ever before. Power for peace costs money." Juab County became the third county in Utah to achieve over 100 per cent of its sales quota. Other counties already over the 100 mark for the year are Washington Wash-ington and Wasatch. |
