E and H Savings Bonds Boost Attractiveness and Rates
Polk County Savings Bonds Committee chair E C Nordlund said the one half percent rise in interest on old and new Series E and H bonds makes them appealing to millions of holders. The new law adds 3 percent interest on bonds bought after June 1 and increases returns on outstanding E and H bonds from June 1 1959 until maturity, with a 10 year extension for all E bonds. He urged owners to keep existing bonds and continue purchasing new ones.
