Campaign Against Hoarding Spurs Texas Bank Faith
Fort Worth March 24 reports show 1 million Texans have ended their distrust of banks and financial institutions. A. P. Barrett of Fort Worth, head of Citizens Reconstruction, leads a state wide effort using newspapers, radio, and tours to revive commerce. Despite early suspensions in bank activity, leaders say Texas sees growth with over 190 million dollars invested in construction and a push to keep hoarders from profiting as fear fades. Barrett urges Texans to invest in safe banks and sound securities, proclaiming revival of trade is underway and the campaign must continue. Colonel Frank Knox wired Barrett for Texas campaign details for California and Oregon leaders, praising statewide efforts.
