! around This splendid result is be-
cause of the handsome subscription
that was made by the American
/ Wooden Co. Early in the campaign
Geo. w. Goulding. chairman of the
/ local Liberty loan committee. APP
pcaled to the officials of that COM
pany asking that some division
might be made of their subscription
that each town in which there was a
mill situated might receive the bene-
tit of subscription in order to make
up its allotment The action of the
! American Wooden Mill 70. was re-
ported to Mr.. Goulding by Roy Brier,
manager of the Oakland mill and it
! is something that is deeply appre-
ciated by the workers who labored
so hard to make the campaign a
success. With just a little more ef-
fort the allotment in this town could
be doubled and the prospects are
good that such may be the case and
Oakland may go over the top
twice."
