Every well managed investment portfolio includes a substantial proportion of debt securities—obligations to pay a definite number of dollars, with a definite amount of interest, by a definite date. Such securities form the cornerstone of a sound invest* ment program, for like life insurance and savings accounts, their value in dollars stays fixed and certain. United States Defense Bonds are the highest type of all debt securities, for behind there are the full faith and credit of the United States. Today they have an added attraction in that Series E Bonds need no longer be redeemed at their original ten year maturity, but may continue to bear interest at a fixed rate for an additional ten years.) United States Defense Bonds are more than a profitable dollar investment. They offer an important way to help your country at the same time you help yourself.
