OWNERS OF U.S. SERIES GOVERNMENT BONDS MATURING THIS MONTH Now these bonds oh earning you interest for ten more years! ARE you one of those patriotic and thrifty citizens has held your Scries Bonds the full ten years? Here ia important news! Now you'll be able to keep those bonds earning more money. Without so much as your lifting a finger! Last year Congress passed the Bond Law which makes it possible for all Series Government Bonds to continue earning interest for twenty years instead of ten as originally planned. For example, a Series Bond which cost you $18.75 in 1942 will pay you $25 in 1952. That same bond in 1962 will pay you $33.33, an average interest of 2.9%.

And there is nothing for you, as a bond holder, to do. You need not exchange the bonds you have. You need not sign any paper, fill out any form. You simply keep your bonds as you have been keeping them. You ruay still redeem any Series Bond at any time after you've owned it for sixty days.

(The tables on this page show what you can get for it.) But holding on to your bonds is the wise way if you can possibly do it For in United States Bonds your money is as safe as America itself. Bankers recommend bonds as one of the safest forms of investment. Money put into U. S. Bonds regularly and left there growa and grows.

It can build into enough to pay for a home, a business, a retirement fund, an education for your children, or whatever really big thing is your own personal dream. So if you have bonds which are coming due this month, remember the new money-making opportunity your Government is giving you. Just hold onto your bonds and they'll go on earning money for you. In the meantime keep up your regular saving with more U. S.
