Government Bonds Safe For Registered Owners
A Philadelphia Ledger summary explains that registered government bonds offer superior safety. If a bond is lost or stolen, only the owner can claim principal or interest, since transfers are recorded in treasury books. Interest checks are kept by the treasury, preserved and retrievable, ensuring holders remain protected and can replace or redeem bonds through official channels.
