The merchants and business men OF
Paw Paw are worthy of the highest
commentator for their liberal use OF
advertising space in giving publicity
to the urgent needs of the government
in the Fourth Liberty Loan. In nc
community in Michigan have the bus
mess institutions been more liberia
and patriotic than Paw Paw. Page
after page of this Liberty Loan advel

ness men and farmers. The space
Ahas been purchased generously anC
willingly as a patriotic duty, and has
had its effect on the voluntary sub
scriptions to the loan. With just on'
single exception during the drive tn
business men of this village have no
only been willing but anxious to con
tribute to this publicity, when tn
matter was called to their attention
