know what is coming, Just for that

AMI ut it in the safest place possible.
Al what other places is there as
safe as the Treasury of the United
States?
Safe methods pay investors wonder

When we consider all the possible

greater than the average on all other
investments.
8. Safe-keeping-Put the bond in
any honest bankers vaults: he will
gladly accommodate small investors
free of charge. Then alb worry ceases.
There in the vault your bond rests in
absolute safety. for the banker can not
use this bond as he uses the money
lent him for deposit. He is simply
keeping another mans receipt for
money that man has already deposited
in the Treasury of the United States.
If the bank goes bankrupt, your bond
is still there in the vaults and belongs
to you, the owner, lying there as safe
on the first day.
Always bear in mind that your bond
is like a receipt. This receipt is prob
ably not worth much to anyone but
you. If you lose a receipt you got
from a store. you can always get a
copy of that receipt, provided you are
dealing with honest men. So. while
there are risks in losing a bond, you
should always be able to get a new
one. a copy, if the original is lost.

around. it is still much safer than cur
rency, for if a thief gets money you
can't prove you owned it; any finder
can use that money. If some thief
should carry yOur pond away he would
have a hard time getting n money
out OF 1t; for, as already explained,
the bond is really your receipt for the
money you deposited in the Treasury
of the United States.
You may take your choice of the
registered or the coupon bond.
On a registered bond your own
name is inscribed; it is a receipt made
out direct to you, and it can be signed
over to some other party only by you
and only before certain authorized
parties.
On a coupon bond little tickets like
small street car transfers are stamped
on the side. One ticket is cut off each
nall year when the interest is due; an6
