WHATS IT WORTH ?
You can make a cultivated pearl by drop
ping a grain of sand inside an oyster.
The oyster surrounds this irritating
grain with a secretion. Slowly, the pearl
grows.
When it’s as big as a seed, you might
remove it and sell it. It would be worth
something—not much, but something.
But you’d be much wiser to leave it
there—month after month, year after year,
while it continued to grow. By and by it
would be worth much more. And if, at the
same time, you went on growing more and
more pearls in more and more oysters—
you’d be surprised how your fortune would
*
grow!
Your Bonds work the same way. And
they’re a lot more convenient than oysters.
If you keep the Bonds you now have till
maturity, they’ll be worth four dollars for
every three you invested. And if you keep
on buying more and more Bonds, you’ll
find you’ve done an amazing thing—ac
cumulated enough to make many a dream
come true I
Keep buying Bonds—and hang on to .
them! For security. A home of your own.
College for your children. Leisure in your
older years. For those Bonds are the safest
investment on earth!
