MT. FOX, in statement yesterday.
made the following appeal to real
estate brokers. office workers, building
managers and all others who are identi-
ned with the business.
hundred and seventy million dol
lars Is lot OF money, but 1t means
less than a dollar a week for each q,
tne Dogs or our army and navy. And
certainly no men In America will saw
mat dollar week is too much for
their cheer and entertainments least
not II one Of the boys is his boy.
ITe spirit OF each of these seven or
sanizations Is uplifting in the biggest
and broadest sense Of the word They
depend upon people of ideals for their
support. and their purpose is to sur
Ivund each boy. SO far as possible, with
me influences that were best in his life

dying together They stand shoulder TO
snonder there In a great common faith,
whose creed Is service In the spirit of
brotherhood toward all m,sr
New York real estate men must do
their share in oversubscribing the great
mark which the United War Work
~ campaign has set. The service which
tnese organizations are rendering to
humanity will assume even greater i'm
poreance during the period of demo-
uuizaton, which army and navy men
assert will present more difficult and in
frtcafe problems for solution than the
period of mobilization. Greater sacri
hces will be demanded and more oppor-
tuntties presented for tho fulfilment OF
the ideals Of these humanitarian aSen-
oico tndii ever De1Ore.
Il know the generous response which
real estate men, even in a period when
market conditions We're at low ebb,
made In the last loan drive, and know
the sacrifices which SO many made -
order TO achieve the distinction Of
doubling their quota. Neverthelesf In
spite of the new demands which will be
made upon their purses and time, am
confdent that the response 10 this new
appeal will be just as wholesome, hearty
and generous.
The winning Of this war f. a per-
sonal triumph for real estate men, be-
cause II means bull market. Real es-
tate is peace stock, SO we have there
fore additional cause for rejoicing and
va can put that joy In concrete form by
giving the men over there all the com
forts, conveniences, guidance and care
that we possibly can. A contribution
TO this United War Work Campaign is a
privilege which may never again present
itseh We must help those men, now
that they have passed through the ordeal |
or 1re and slaughter, ito live happily |
ever after"
