Sell 20 Per Cent of E Bond Quota
DES MOINES Iowa Wednesday had less than 80 per cent of its seventh war loan E bond goal to subscribe, pushing forward with sales totaling 17 100 080 on opening day. First day sales were 20 per cent of the state's E bond goal of 52 600 600. W L Clark executive manager warns against over optimism stating we still have a long way to go. The bond quota for Iowa in the sixth war loan campaign was 61 000 000 and Clark said this drive could easily be the most difficult yet. Waverly subscribed more than its quota and Waukee reached its goal.
