These yellow sheets are examples of the amount of money claimed by countians from the government toward the end of World War II. Most people did not realize very much because they had held their bonds only a short time. As you can see below, when the war was over, people cashed their bonds quickly.
These sheets came from a two post binder and were successfully removed. Each page had seven columns and twenty-five lines.
