German Helmets Offered As Victory Loan Prizes
Allied troops captured eighty five thousand German helmets in Lomz are to be awarded as prizes by the Federal district committee in the Victory Liberty Loan campaign. Helmets will be given to Victory note salesmen with top selling records in counties and cities. Frank R. Wilson and Lewis B. Franklin are pictured on the Treasury steps in Washington. Wilson caused a panic in the helmet market by buying the entire allotment from the War Department for one dollar. The helmets, not cheap to manufacture, were a special reserve for a triumphal entry into Paris and reached there by freight.
