An ih-: vestment of say $840 now will in 1938 bring a payment of $1,000 and in ad dition, the bond will pay annually/ $42.50 as interest anii if this interest is deposited when the coupons are clipped; so vhat it will be componded there will be another $1,000 accumu lated by the time the Liberty Bond' matures. Some parents are making an investment" of this kind for very; young- children so - that by the time^ they reach the age of 21 years they will have $2,000 of capital available which grew out of an investment of $840 by the parents.
