Wise old bird! As with eggs, so with nest eggs. The best nest egg in the world today is the War Bond. It’s an incomparably safe investment. It pays $4 for every $3 you put up. But... In order to get that nice fat interest, you have to sit on a Bond for the proper length of time. 10 years, to be exact. ‘ You can get your money before that, any time after 60 days. But you won't get the full benefit. You lose the interest. You take your money out of the fight. You Kkill off savings that might be a bless- ing in days when money doesn’t flow as freely as it does today. Buy more War Bonds. Sit on them.
