Title	Defense saving bonds books
Subject	Savings bonds Government securities Investments World War, 1939-1941 Indiana
Description	During the early 1940s, the United States issued Defense bonds and stamps to raise money to support the war effort against Germany and Japan. After the bombing of Pearl Harbor, Hawaii on December 7, 1941, the bonds became war bonds after the United States officially entered World War II. Some people couldn’t afford to purchase a $25 or $10,000 dollar bond. Instead, they purchased stamps over time until their savings book was full. Once the book was full they held it for ten years at which time the book could be redeemed for the full value of a bond. Children usually didn’t have the money to buy a whole bond, but had quarters to spare as Daniel Freeland did of Rolling Prairie Indiana.
