The Fourth Liberty Loan is history. |.
Knox county did what we all knew
she would: she cheerfully met the
huge demand made upon her resOurc-
es. And more-we conlldentially be-
lieve she will meet other big demands
In the same big way.
A really wonderful result has been
attained. Aside from raising the quo.
ia, big task in itself, the government
has enlisted the active support of over
six thousand individuals in the county
or In other words. one in every Ave. In
general way that means one buyer
in every family in the county. though
1t is only an average We sincerely
hope that the day will come when ev.
cry family will, without exception, buy
Liberty Loan bonds. There are still
two hundred or more individuals in
the county that are known to be well
able to buy who have not yet done SO.
That is small percentage however,
and even they are rapidly being cen.
vinced that II Is to their interest to
buy.
The total subscriptions in the cOun.
ty reached the huge sum of Sl,31O,350.
The county quota was $l,03G 600.
Think OF 1t! An oversubscription OF
S274,35O-only 100000 less than the
entire county quota OF the first loan.
The number of subscribers to date
Is G.040 and will eventually reach &C..
600. Again we marvel. More than
twice nv many az In any loan ever at.
