ORIGINAL 1930s “STORY OF U.S. SAVINGS BONDS” PAMPHLET

An interesting piece of Depression-era American financial history!

Original vintage 1930s pamphlet titled “Story of U.S. Savings Bonds,” promoting and explaining the United States Savings Bonds program during its early years.

A LITTLE HISTORY

The U.S. Savings Bonds program began in 1935, during the Great Depression, as the federal government encouraged Americans to build savings while helping finance government operations.

Savings bonds were promoted as an accessible way for ordinary citizens to invest in their financial future, long before the famous World War II War Bonds campaigns.

This publication represents an interesting chapter in the development of American personal savings, government securities, and financial education.
