How retailers boosted Americans buying power during wartime
Retailers helped promote U S Savings Bonds at home during World War II, selling over the counter and backing campaigns that spurred saving. Since 1941 Americans invested 121 billion in bonds, spent 78 billion on wartime needs, and hold a 43 billion reserve as future buying power. Bonds grow up to 93 percent, with $75 becoming $100 in 10 years, $145 later, guaranteed by Uncle Sam.
