If you open a
Wyomissing Provident
I.R.A. account lor $1500.00
before December 31,1975
you’ll fatten your retirement
fund by as much as
$19,000.00!
Hard to believe? Well It’s true. For example: if you are now
between 25 and 35 years old, not already covered by a pension
fund and can afford to deposit the maximum $l5OO per year in
an Individual Retirement Account starting right now, your
pension will include an additional $19,081.27 upon retirement in
35 years. That’s $12.72 for every $l.OO invested! Here are
some additional figures to showyou how much you can lose by
delaying just one year on a $l5OO I.R.A. account:
ANNUAL INTEREST TERM OF TOTAL ADDITIONAL RETURN
INVESTMENT RATE ACCOUNT PENSION FOR ONE MORE TEAR
$1500.00 BASED 10 yrs. $ 23,168.00 $ 2,993.27
ON
$1500.00 CURRENT 25 yrs. $115,796.00 $ 8,995.00
$1500.00 IN RATES T 35 yrs. $270,906.71 $19,081.27
A substantial interest penalty is required for early withdrawal of certificates.
By the way, if $l5OO a year is a bit out of your reach don’t sweat it
because with the I.R.A. plan you can deposit any amount you
wish up to that maximum. And every cent you invest is tax
deductible! Don’t let that extra year’s retirement income slip by.
Open an I.R.A. account before December 31st by contacting
one of our five convenient offices.

of Agriculture has always
been to help the forgotten
rural communities, and
Rural America, Inc.,
promises to be an effective
lobbying force for all rural
citizens.”
There is no remuneration
for board directors. Noting
that his days as Penn
sylvania Secretary of
Agriculture are coming to a
close, McHale said that his
connection with Rural
America, Inc., meant that
much more to him.

“This will enable me to
keep my hand in the im
portant work of helping rural
Americans to get an even
slice of the American pie, no
matter what new position I
take,” said McHale.
Rural America was a co
sponsor of a National Con
ference on Rural America in
Washington last April.
Featured among many
speakers at the four-day
conference were Senators
James Abourezk (D-S.D.),
Dick Clark (D-Iowa), Ed
ward Kennedy (D-Mass.),
George McGovern (D-S.D.),
and Representatives Mark
Andrews (R-N.D.) and Bill
Alexander (D-Ark.).
More than 1,000 people
attended the conference,
including McHale and
members of his staff. Clay
Cochrane, executive director
of Rural Housing Alliance
and chairman of Rural
America, Inc., informed
McHale by letter that he was
among nine members
elected to an expanded board
of directors.
Cochrane has described
Rural America, Inc., as an
“action-oriented research"
group serving as a com
munication link between the
remote rural citizen and
Washington.
