TO THE WORKMEN OF

Do not leave Hamilton. There

you to get the money to rebuild

nowhere greater than right here.
In the days to come you will be
proud to number yourself among
those who stood by and helped
to build the bigger, better, more
prosperous Hamilton.
The second placard appeared in
the window Of Hamilton S leading

Uttered with flood wreckage:

Any poet or historian who

Kipling called the American spirit

possible to reduce it to words.
These expressions came from
typical American communities at
a time when calamity had made
