Thorough War Savings Drive Plan for Cedar Rapids
Cedar Rapids prepares a one week campaign April 15 to 22 for sale of U S war savings bonds led by Linn county chairman B D Silliman.

Over 200 people attended a Chamber of Commerce briefing outlining precints to be covered and meeting nights, with chairmen named for 23 city precincts and a focus on patriotic investment backed by 130,000,000 people.
