liberty Loan Committee Adopts
Novel Method Of Announcement

N A unique and original method of
announcing the daily reports on the
kictory Loan subscriptions during the
mpaign commencing tomorrow has
Pen hit upon to take the place of
De thermometer on the New Britain
national Bank building. SO far as
known no other city has ever tried
@ything of the sort and the appro-
fateness for a Victory Loan will
MFtainly appeal to the public.
Here is the idea. A big screen,
x14 feet, will be erected in front
M the Soldiers monument appropri-
#ely surmounted with the figure of
Hinged Victory. This screen will
low a great big bulls eye, showing
&sw Britain's quota for the loan.
yer the top of the target will be the
#Scription, Fourth Liberty Loan,
ews Britain Salient" to the left,
lou are on the Firing Line" to the
ght, Fire Your Big subscriptions
bw;" and underneath, Hit the
IFS Eye" Aimed at the target will
NH cannon stationed at the base of
I'd fagpole on the park. This cam
n will shoot a shell at the target,
IA which will be labeled each day the
Mount of the subscriptions to the
ctory Loan to date. The shell will
Yance on a wire towards the bulls
es.' as the subscriptions increase
gnl day to day, and the aim of every
riotic citizen will be to shoot the
ll right through the bulls eye and
M it come out on the other side if
$w1ll. This clever scheme of adver-
ng the campaign was adopted at
meeting of the publicity committee
eterday afternoon at the Chamber
Commerce rooms and is the work
a sub committee composed of
ah Lucas chairman, E. w. Pape,
III. Gardner and A. N. Rutherford.
Lucas will try and get the consent
the state fuel administrator to keep
she'll lighted up at night.
william Middlemass reported for
committee on blowing the whistles
signify the opening of the Victory
an campaign that every factory in
IN will blow the whistles from
10 to 1915 o'clock tomorrow noon.
Fangem were perfected also for
M Sunday band concert and open
rally at Central Park at 2:30
day afternoon. Louis Raphael, the
\
Philharmonic band. He is also
hanging for other concerts in the
hrse of the week.
t was announced that a big Vic
AaB v Loan meeting will be held at the
st church Tuesday evening at which
Nicol, who has just returned from
war zone. will be the speaker.
Nicol has not only seen leading
u i
h some German generals and will
be a most interesting address. The
VS. Club band will play in front
the church before the mass meet
arrangements were made for pro-
ng badges for all the Victory Loan
lpaign workers. These will be red
tie and blue ribbon fastened with
berty Loan button. These badges
be a great help in keeping the
lie posted on the personnel of the
kers. The wearers of the badges
be conspicuous, so it will be an
&ntive for them to work like Tro-
to put the loan across.
he committee proposes to have a
ter in every store window in the
Saturday morning. Main street
be lined with them. A novel
kure will be placing of posters in
Il ry window in the New Britain Ma
aI Bank building. Also posters
be put in Railways of buildings
ling elevators, the post Office the
airy and other public buildings.
badly posters have been distributed
lnd the different factories. Sat
R.y will be Poster Day, and there
be Q display such as New Britain
never exhibited before. The man
# Aout his store windows filed with
M ers will appear mighty conspicu-
for his lack of touch with the
paign, and it would be the worst
of advertisement he could pos
have. All the merchants are
ng for the posters and are to vie
each other in making their
window attractive with them.
