LOAN IN PAGEANT

AOtitt Az lAO4tItt
The Liberty Loan will get a boost
in the "Dress.up Week" plans next
week. Merchants of the city working
with the Chamber of Commerce for
the Event, have conceded 10 the Lib
erty Loan Committee the courtesy
Of leading the parade on Thursday
night. AS result plans are being
made today by a committee of which
w. n. Barnard, IT., is chairman for
an elaborate display IN the pageant.
J. II. Nixon will be marshal of the
parade.
Following the band at the head of
the line will come nearly 100 gaily
decorated automobiles. In these cars
will ride all of the citys bankers
and representatives OF financial in
stitutions. The autos are to be not
only decorated with flags, but will
carry literature advertising the loan.
II Is expected that the ftlancial
interests will alone contribute city
cars. but Mr.. Barnard would like to
have any person having a car Nho
would decorate II to communicate
with him at once. The committee
would provide all Of the advertising
matter needed and would give aid in
the way of suggestions for decor
atoms
There will be at least one float in
line, perhaps more, In this division.
This will be a representation OF the
Goddess of Liberty.
During and after the parade the Of
fee of Z. d. Iackey & Co. will be
open for the reception OF subscrip'
lions for the loan. Any one desiring
information may obtain II there.
In addition TO the financial lnstitu-
tions Of the city. all OF the prominent
stores Of the city In the central section
Will act as agents for the loan. Any
one desiring 10 subscribe and who Is
acquainted with some Of the merchants
may transact the financial business at
any OF the big stores.
J. Chester Gibson today appealed 10
the managers OF the larger stores TO
give the Liberty Loan posters a promi-
lent position in their windows.
I'VE are all working without pay
in this SALE" said Mr. Gibson, "and
hope that the merchants will place
the loan posters in as prominent a
place in their windows as possible
take up some of the space OF the win
dow, but the sale will last but few
days, and ! am appealing TO the pa
triOtisrn of the merchants of our city
along this line. They always have
been so generous along patriotic lines
previously that / do not doubt that
they will find a way to display this
advertising calling the attention OF
