Soldier Deposits 4%: A good way to save, sign up now
A red eagle's head on a blue and red field carries the words 'Soldier Deposits' and a large '4%', with the line 'A good way to save - sign up now' below. The tell is card-stacking: the interest rate is the one fact shown large, with no terms or limits on the face of the sheet, though the technique is mild.
