Bankers Urge Immediate Bond Purchases for Liberty Loan
The Liberty Loan publicity committee met to plan a formal dinner for Secretary McAdoo and a mass meeting at Music Hall on Monday evening. It discussed a possible street parade but deemed it too costly for the expected returns. Fears were raised that last minute buyers would be unable to be served, risking disappointment. Labor unions reported active participation with billions in bonds pledged by Local No. 2 carpenters and joiners and Local No. 42 blacksmiths and helpers circulating appeals for various denominations. Milford Bank Director Daniel W. Murphy said subscriptions were rising, aiming from 50 000 to perhaps 100 000.
