POSTAL SAVINGS BONDS
Coupon and Certified Issues in $50
500 and $500.

The postal savings bank official. at
the postoffice are just in receipt of a
circular letter announcing that an is
sue of postal savings bonds will be
put out January l, 1913, in dcnomina-
tons of $40, 500 and $3.50 at 2l per
cent per annum, payable semi-annual-
ly.
The bonds are put out in two forms.
One is the coupon bond, from which
coupons may be detached to collect
each issue of interest and which any
holder may cash on sight. These are
superior for the person who wishes
to leave his money tied up but short
time, for he can sell the bond to any
one at any time. The other form,
known as the certified bond, must al
ways be presented by the owner for
payment or by his assignee. These
are best for one who wishes to hold
the bond the entire 20 years till it ex-
pires, as no one can cash them except
the purchaser. =
All wishing to purchase postal saw
ings bonds must apply on or before
December 2. The bonds expire in 20
years, at which time the principal and
interest are to be paid in gold.

which he refers to an article in the

authorship of the article in question
belonged to MIR. Fordney.
I simyly want to inform you that

lYsnothing to do with the preparation
