    Wow? I dunno about wow but this was one of the first post-war campaigns for Series E Savings Bonds. If you like at Money Market Accounts or even most CD’s nowadays the 3% that “E” Bonds earned is still nothing to sneer at (not that you were sneering, Charlie).

    WARNING: It’s an 8 MB PDF but comprehensive.

    fb: My Wow comment was directed more at the rapturous look on their faces.
