HALF-SIZED BONDS
A new, half-sized war bond will make its appearance in about two months but there will be no reduction in the value of the securities offered by the Government.
The reduction in the size of the "E" bonds will save about $1,750,000 a year in paper production costs alone, according to the Treasury Department.
Besides, the smaller bonds can be handled with greater convenience by issuing agents and take up less lock box space.
We do not know whether the smaller size bonds will be available for the Third War Bond drive which opens on September 9th, but we are quite sure that they offer an attractive investment for Americans with surplus money.
As President Roosevelt said, in his proclamation setting the date for the opening of the drive which is to raise $15,000,000,000, "every American, under the guidance of his conscience," will decide the extent to which he will "back the attack."
