Savings Bond Sales Totals in Iowa Are Below Redemptions
Iowa’s first half 1951 bond data show sales of 62.8 million dollars against redemptions and maturities of 67.4 million. Series A to E plus WWII terminal bonds led redemptions, while F and G sales lagged by 7.35 percent. State director Roger F. Warin notes national trends differ, and Iowa’s payroll plan participation rises despite overall decline. County figures reflect mixed results with several counties posting deficits, and individual county totals cited for Marion, Mahaska, and Jasper.
