Show Best Bet for Gift Is Defense Bond: Nation's Best Buy U. S. Defense Bonds, "The gift that keeps on giving,,' are available avail-able this year in special Christmas Christ-mas gift foldersPostmaster Gilbert Gil-bert L. Janson said today. 'There's no charge for this special -holiday - feature," Mr. Janson explained. "Like so many other advantages of U. S. Defense De-fense Bonds, the free gift folders are added value. Bonds are always al-ways suitable presents. Unlike other things that wear out, go out of style, or cease to fit, Defense De-fense Bonds grow in value. The longer you keep them, the more they're worth." The postmaster called attention atten-tion to the "now even better" advantages ad-vantages of the improved Series E bonds. The interest rate is a full 3 per cent, maturity is in less than 10 years, extension privileges pri-vileges are automatic, and annual an-nual purchase limits are double what they were a year ago. There is also an entirely new Series H bond that can be purchased pur-chased at par. Twice each year Interest payments are made by government check at approximately approxi-mately the same rate as that accumulated ac-cumulated by Series E bonds. '"It's easy to buy a bond at any post office, and there's a size to fit everyone. On Christ-1 mas trees across the country this patriotic and wise gift will again stand out as sensible and important." |
