ITO the membership:
You are in a position to serve

manner by personally subscribing to
the Liberty Loan bond issue and in
using your efforts to have others
: subscribe.
! "In order for the Liberty Loan
bond issue-which is Stupendous in
amount--to be absorbed by the
American people promptly in order
, to impress our allies with our en-
| thusiasm and our enemies with the
determination of the American peo-
pie to prosecute this war success
fully, every member of this Cham
ber of Commerce must do his share.
THE Harrisburg Chamber of
Commerce and the Harrisburg Clear
ing House Association have joined
hands to make it easy for employers
and emp oyes alike to purchase Lib
erty Loan bonds. Campaign head
quarters have been established in the
offices of the Chamber of Commerce.

and an expert is there to furnish you
prompt cooperation and a group of
skilled bond statesmen and assistants
who are giving their time and efforts
free of charge in order that you may
obtain intelligent information, are
also at your service.
IF YOU are an employer, it is your
patriotic duty to get III touch with
every one of your employees and help
make 1t possible for every one of
them to purchase Liberty bond, as
they come in denominations as low
as $50 or 500 each. These bonds
Ntili NC Bll IldStu ny your employees
on the instalment plan and full par
ticulars can be obtained by applying
to headquarters. With leadership
and cooperation from you your en-
ployes can have demonstrated to
them that they can purchase this
gilt-edge security by foregoing cx-
travagances and luXuries and serve
their country just as patriotically as
If they were in the field.

salaried man in Harrisburg who can
not purchase a Liberty Loan bond
through one of the many plans that
are available.
I'VE wish to especially impress
upon you that it is reither fair nor
patriotic to dodge your duty and re-
sponsibility to your country in this
matter. You cannot delegate to 9TH
ers the task of buying these Liberty
Loan bonds. You must personally
purchase your share ofsthese bonds
I commend this matter to you for
your earnest and prompt attention
and / am sure that you will respond
in the same way that Harrisburgers
have, always responded to appeals
