Ihermos Company Puts $sOoOo Into Liberty Loan Bank
 5OO-ToNn Needs SAYS, $50 More to Reach Quota.

Norwich is nearly s75,00O nearer the $ly251, 400 goal in the. third Liberty loan drive as a result of Thursdays campaign. The figures announced on Thursday afternoon at the close of banking hours show that 3,641 sub- scriptions have been received for the total amount of S722.75 This total does not include a generous subscrip- ton of $50,000 made by the American Thermos Bottle company. The req son for this is that the chairman of the local committee does not figure in any subscriptions that have not been recorded at a bank. With this amount added to the figures given out by Chairman c. R. Butts the total for Norwich would be $772.750.
 The large subscription of the Ther mos company was the result of a re- quest from the chairman of the local Liberty committee that some of the 'Thermos company's investments in Liberty. bonds be credited to Norwich. President William B. Walker of the Ther1nos company wrote to Chairman Butts saying that the building fund of this company on deposit with the Thames National bank amounting to $50,000 could, with the acquiesence of the bank and the Norwich Industrial l Improvement corporation, be immedi- ately invested in the third Liberty bond issue, 4 IA bonds, the bonds remaining in the hands of the Thames National bank as a guaranty for the erection of $50,000 additions to the present plant as per contract in lieu ot 1 the cash, the Thames National bank paying 3 per cent. on this deposit. The transaction met with, the api proval of the Improvement corporation and the subscription will be registered at the bank today.
