Due June 15, 1955

To all Banking Institutions, and Others Concerned,
in the Second Federal Reserve District:

The following press statement was today made public:
Secretary of the Treasury Morgenthau today announced the offering, through the Federal Reserve
Banks, for cash subscription, of $1,500,000,000, or thereabouts, of 21/4 percent Treasury Bonds of
1952-55. For the benefit of small investors, preferential allotments will be given to subscribers up
to $5,000, where delivery in registered bonds 90 days after issue date is specified; those who enter
such a subscription for preferential allotment may not enter any other subscription.
The Treasury Bonds of 1952-55, now offered for cash subscription, will be dated February 25,
1942, and will bear interest at the rate of 2^4 percent per annum, payable semiannually on June 15
and December 15, with the first coupon due June 15, 1942 for a fractional period. The bonds will
mature June 15, 1955, but may be redeemed, at the option of the United States, on and after June
15, 1952.
The bonds will be issued in two forms: bearer bonds with interest coupons attached, and bonds
registered both as to principal and interest. Both forms will be issued in the denominations of $50,
$100, $500, $1,000, $5,000, $10,000 and $100,000.
Pursuant to the provisions of the Public Debt Act of 1941, interest upon the bonds now offered
shall not have any exemption, as such, under Federal tax Acts now or hereafter enacted. Otherwise the bonds will be accorded the same exemptions from taxation as are accorded other issues of
Treasury bonds now outstanding. These provisions are specifically set forth in the official circular
released today.
Subscriptions will be received at the Federal Reserve Banks and Branches, and at the Treasury
Department, Washington. Banking institutions generally may submit subscriptions for account of
customers, but only the Federal Reserve Banks and the Treasury Department are authorized to act as
official agencies. Subscriptions for the bonds from banks and trust companies for their own account
will be received without deposit, but subscriptions from all others must be accompanied by payment of
10 percent of the amount of bonds applied for. The bases on which subscriptions will be entertained
from the various classes of subscribers will be the same as announced on December 3, 1941, for the
December 15 cash offerings.
The right is reserved to close the books as to any or all subscriptions or classes of subscriptions at
any time without notice. The basis of allotment of subscriptions will be publicly announced, and payment for any bonds allotted must be made or completed on or before February 25, 1942, or on later
allotment.

^

The terms of this offering are set forth in Treasury Circular No. 681, dated February 13,
1942, a copy of which is printed on the following pages.
The subscription books are now open, and applications will be received by this bank as fiscal
agent of the United States. Subscriptions should be made on official subscription blanks and
mailed immediately or, if filed by telegram or letter, should be confirmed immediately by mail on
the blanks provided. Telegraphic or letter subscriptions to the cash offering entered by a
bank either for preferred or for other allotment should state the amount subscribed for the
bank's own account and the number of subscriptions, at each amount, entered for the customers
of the subscribing bank.
