will be needed than in either of the
previous years.
Following last years Festival nearly
$4,000 was pledged by various bust
ness men OF Richmond for the Fall

termined to collect this money first
before starting their general financial
campaign The men who have already
pledged to this years Festival have
been notified by letter and asked to
send a check to Everett r. Lemon. the
festival treasurer.
Coming In Rapidly.
The checks have been coming In Il,
a most encouraging manner as the re
suit of the letters that have beer
sent out. and the finance COMMITTEES Is
particularly anxious that all who have
not answered such letters will do sc
at once.
BY sending checks to the treasurer
by mail the finance committee will bs
relieved of the work Of personally CO,
lecting the money already pledged
This will greatly facilitate the commit
tees work.
AS soon as the money is all paid II
from the pledges the committee vii
start its city-wide campaign for funds
The outlook is particularly promising
and If each business man will co-opo
rate with the finance committee thu
work of raising funds, will be great,
simplified, and the success of the Fes
tival will be assured.
The committee especially desires al
this time that all who have pledges
money and have not sent in theil
checks should do SO without delay.
