Appeal to Small Investor
Charles f. Mitchell, president Of the
National City Company and member OF
the Liberty Loan bond distribution
committee. told The Tribune yesterday
that there is too little interest being
displayed in the loan by the small IN
vestor in the South and West. Mr..
Mitchell has been in close touch with
the work that is being done to speed
up subscriptions, not only as mem
Der of the loan committee, but from
daily reports received from the twenty
one branches of the National City
Company in Chicago, Pittsburgh. Cleve-
land. Atlanta. San Francisco and other
important cities.
As an example of the apathy shown
even in the wealthy city of Pittsburgh,
Mr.. Mitchell said the Liberty Loan com
mittees there had disbanded merely be-
cause it was assured that the allotment
of 10000. 900 made by the Treasury De-
partment would be taken.
New York and New England are
doing more than their share" said Mr..
Mitchell, "but the rest Of the country
is tagging behind, despite the fact that
recent reports are more encouraging.
When the subscriptions are all in
think it will be found that the New
York and New England sections have
taken considerably more than half the
loan. The New York district alone Will
probably subscribe for at least a
billion"
Packing Firm to Help
Wilson g. Co., the Chicago and New
York packers, have modified their
sales force of 1000 men for a Liberty
bond campaign. Each salesman will
wear Have You Bought a Liberty
Bond?" button and will work among the
100 900 butchers and provision dealers
trading with the Wilson company
Posters boosting the sale will be car
ried in the windows OF the company
and on its wagons and automobiles
and will be distributed to the dealers
for display.
Miss Virginia Furman, chairman OF
the Women's Committee, reported To
Mrs. Frank A. Vanderlip yesterday that
the committees sales have exceeded
81 900 900 and that the moving picture
