He'll get a fresh Bond to replace it. No charge. The Treasury has grown accustomed to providing this sort of service. In the past 20 years it has replaced over 1,300,000 Savings Bond$^that have been lost, stolen, burrted"or mistakenly tossed out with the trash. \ Every U.S. Savings Bond sow It registered in the name of its owner* and a microfilm record made. So tito government can check when, where* and in whose name a Bond was purchased-- even if there isn't a* burae4 crisp to send them. This assurance against loss is an* other of the many reasons why Americans now hold over $47 billion, in Series B and Savings Bonds. The money they'resaving is providing for their personal security. And it's also helping to build the strength of America at a time when the enemies of freedom are stronger than ever. TJ.S. Savings Boncli are a good way to provide for your future.
