worth of our country’s interest earning Bonds! That’s the
greatest success story of its kind the world has ever known!
And the most exciting part of all is that we’re doing this of
our own free will. Not only because we’ve found U. S.
Defense Bonds are one sure way to save money. But because
we believe they represent something ue can do about
building peace and security for ourselves and our country—•

Great news!
New money-earning features for your
U. S. Defense Bonds!
FIRST Thanks to new Treasury regulations, every
Series E Bond you invest in begins earning interest after
only 6 months. It earns 3% interest compounded semi
annually when held to maturity. It reaches full maturity
value earlier (9 years 8 months) and the interest it pays
is now bigger at the start.
SECOND Every Series E Bond you own can now go on
earning interest for 10 more years after it reaches the
origilial maturity date—without your lifting a finger!
THIRD During the 10-year extension period, every
unmatured Bond earns at the new, higher interest rate
(average 3% compounded semiannually).
FOURTH If you want to be paid the interest your
Bonds are earning every six months, ask at your-bank
about the new Series H Defense Bond.
