LET'S PUT IT OVER!

Curry County must sell $113,S00 worth of
bonds if we do our share during the present
Victory Loan drive, More than this amount
was subscribed for during the last drive and
the Victory bonds draw greater per cent of
interest than any yet offered. Curry County
cannot afford to fall short of her quota this
time. If she does her citizenship will be
ashamed of the fact in years to come Let's
make it our slogan; "Buy as many bonds as
last drive"
