Fifteen Precincts Over the Top in War Bond Drive
A long report from the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago credits Fayette county for selling 200646.35 of E bonds, 42.81 percent of its 402000 quota, with Payette county yet to buy 283000 to meet its goal. The pledge drive extends across fifteen precincts including Clermont and Union as six precincts remain short, urging citizens to buy their limit. VL Clark notes the benefit of bonds, echoing Bruce Barton, and stresses bonds act as noninterest notes that support the U.S. Treasury and war efforts.
