None of the candidates

that the best the President

The "E" bond quite literally

dreams come true for those who
stay with the payroll or regular

children to college. They will
provide e a down-payment, or
even half or full payment, on a

purchasing something planned
for in the years ahead. Or, they
will be available for some un-
designated or unknown need in
the unknown future which, for
all of us, rich or poor, is re-

Some $85 billion dollars in
Savings Bonds have alre a d y
been invested in all these things

and so on. Yet a record $43
billion still remain in the pos
session of thrifty Americans. 1t
is estimated that E bond sales
will pass the $lO0 billion dol
lar total by the middle of this
year. They remain the best way
for the average wage-earning
American to save. They pay

E' Series Bond
Twenty Years Old
On May |. 1861

There are anniversaries which
serve to date one. That is, for
example, the "E" savings bond
In May of 1861 it will be &c
years old. The first one was
sold to Franklin D. Roosevelt
on May l, 194l, and Mr.. Roose.

derstandable sc m n les that
they were savings bonds which
permitted every American tc
help his country prepare against
possible aggression. The small.
lest bond was $25 at maturity
1t could be purchased for $l8.75
There were $50 and $100 bonds
After that they climbed. There
were bonds at 5000, $500, $1,000
and $4,000.
But by and large, it was the
first three which the average
American took to his frugal
heart. Just as Mr.. Roosevelt
had said, it was possible for
every citizen to buy savings
bonds and help himself and his
country. There was not then
much thought they would help
pay for a war.
That was the last year OF

There were others who knew
that no matter how much such
a nation sought to remain neu-

and power made it necessary
for it to be engaged. So long
as the major force was uncom-
mitted the German-Japanese al
lies could not win a total vic
tory.
Became Vastly Important
So, in December a desperate
Japanese attack, skillfully and
diabolically prepared and exc
cuted, brought us precipitately
into the war with most of our
Pacific sea power sunk or burn
ing in Pearl Harbor.
The "E" Bonds became even
more important. Every Ameri-
can could help his country win
a war. Sales were a billion dol
lars in the eight months after
May l94l, when we were help
ing to pay for possible aggres-
sion. In the first war year, Am
ericans bought almost six bill
lion dollars worth. By 1914 the
buyers of small bonds put more
than IL billion dollars into
them.
Financial experts thought that
when war ended demand for the
bonds also would stop. But Am
orleans had learned something
The "E" Bond was the easiest
way to thrift ever devised. Bus
