per cent, shows remarkable record
The Eighth Federal Reserve District
has been advertised throughout the
nation as foremost in the contest FOL
supremacy and felicitate you on YOU
part in bringing about this great
! measure of success.
realize the great amount of worl
which your Organization has put in
perhaps the many difficulties which
you have had to overcome. 1t ha
been a real fight, but the people hav,
responded well and it is comfortably
feeling to know that a national goo'
has come out of the effort.
Yours sinceely,
