 To the Employss of the Stanley
 We are at war with the greatest military power that has ever existed.
 Our President, speaking for the people of this country, has pledged our lives and fortunes in the defense of Government by the People'-asainst the en- croachment of autocracy. This action has been endorsed by our elected representatives in both branches of Congress. The will of the majority must be the will of the Nation. This is the foun- dation stone" of our government. which has given to us, and to the whole world, such manifold bless ings.
 Unless we are true to our chosen representatives, we are false to ourselves and Our Coun- try. Therefore, every one of us Is personally at war with the enemies of Our Country and in : honor bound to respond to tho we can render.
 It fs not given to everyone to do the heroic thing, but each can do something. To put this great nation into the fight with all it's might and force will require a great sacrifice of money.
 If we quickly subscribe the stu pendous amount of money neces- K sary and now called for in the form of '"The Liberty Loan." 1t will show to the world that the most powerful nation is in deadly earnest. It will soon be realized that it Is useless to fight demo- cracy end progress. It will prove to the world that there are some things which America loves more than money.
 Now-What are you willing to do to help this great cause? Our Secretary of the Treas ury says 1t Jis necessary for everyone to help. if tho great Liberty Loan" is to be 8 success.
 To make 1t easy and convenient for the employees of the Stanley Works to give their support, the company will pay the government for such bonds as may be sub- scribed for by employees, deliver ing them to such of tho sub- scribers as pay for them in full, and givinE the option to such em- ployes as do not wish to pay in full, of paying on . weekly. monthly, or quarterly instAA- ment plan. so that the bonds arc fully paid for by July 1st, 1913. Until such time as they ere fully paid for, the company will hold the bonds and collect the interest. crediting employees account with interest at 1-2 per cent. on all money paid in. Bonds will be issued in denominations of fifty, one hundred, five hundred and one thousand dollars, so that they aare practically within the reach of everybody.
 Tn addition to rendering Q pa- triotic service, you will commit yourself to compulsory saving plan, similar to that of the Christmas Savings idea. except
