 The work has been gigantic one, but he has shown himself master of the situation and work. Like genuine Yankee he at once com prehended the value of the newspaper press in in disseminating knowledge of the advantages of the Loan he therefore placed the matter of advertising in the hands of competent adver- tising firm in New York, (Peaslee & Co.) and they have faithfully and thoroughly posted the whole people upon the subject through the col umns of a. large portion of the newspapers throughout the United States, and as conse- quence whenever he has had bonds in his hands they have been called for by the people at the rate of from one to thirty-iye million dollars per day. 4s+,! l. 3aa .isa. @
