| Description: | The beginning of the clip shows a mailbox in suburbia that says ''Hudson.'' A station wagon pulls into the driveway with Hudson in the driver's seat and a Christmas tree sticking out of the trunk. He gets out of the car and begins selling America on buying Savings Bonds. It looks like a movie set and a man and woman are walking down the sidewalk. Christmas music is playing 'Jingle Bells'. A station comes driving from around the corner and pulls up in the driveway (I think its a 1956 or 1957 Oldsmobile Station Wagon) with the back hatch down and a Christmas Tree sticking out its back. The door of the station wagon opens and out steps Rock Hudson. Rock Hudson; "I never seem to have enough time for all my Christmas shopping. The problem is easy this year because I'm giving more Savings Bonds than ever. I buy them regularly all year around because their a good investment. So I figure I cant give anyone a better gift than one I would like to receive. You can buy this gift bond at any bank, whatever the occasion - anniversary, birthday, conformations, graduation or Christmas, you cant go wrong. US Saving's Bonds is a gift that's keeps on giving. The present that keeps on increasing in value over the years, returning $4.00 for every $3.00 at maturity. You want to say "Merry Christmas" in a very special way , this year. Give US Savings Bonds. Merry Christmas to all of you. | |
