If Esau and Jacob who lived some six thousand years ago, wore still alive, and If Esau had earned $10 every day, and had saved it all, he would have $21,900,000. On the other hand, if Jacob had deposited $1 at 1 pec cent, interest, compounded eveir 100 years, he would havn today $576,440,752,308,423,488. Can anyone figure out how much Jacob would have had had he purchased one $5 War Sav ing Stamp then, which pays in terest at the rate of 4 per cent., compounded four times every year?
