What's the Matter with New York State Bonds
A World capstone item notes New York upstate lagging in Liberty Loan subscriptions. Schenectady with General Electric and other plants shows bonds allotted 2.2 million and subscribed 171 thousand. Dion home to Emington Arms and Typewriter Co shows 208 thousand allotted but none taken. Little Falls and Gloversville report high activity yet many towns report none taken. The piece paints a broad pattern of weak participation statewide, labeling many areas as laggards or deserters.
