This is an extra special personal
appeal that I want each OF you to
pause long enough to read. and con-
slider we'll my request.
Our final record has been splendid
in each of the four preceding cam
paigns, but during the first week or
two of each drive the sixth federal re-
serve district has suffered In the eyes
of the whole United States on account
of it's tardiness in reporting and in
making the initial 10 per cent payment
to the federal reserve bank.
See every bank in your county and
beseech them to transfer to the federal
reserve bank the money representing
the initial 10 per cent on their order
OF bonds just as early as possible. This
will give our district the standing in
the percentage column to which our
efforts entitle us and which will be
he source Of much favorable comment
and notice all over the United States.
Arrangements can be made to cover
he initial payment with collateral. IL
desired, So that no actual cash IL re-
auired, except at the option Of the
bank.
And, finally. brethren. II your county
las not already gone ''over the top
wire me on receipt Of this letter IL
-ou can depend upon II going over,
md how soon. Do this for me. II will
AXE very little time to dispatch this
by wire and 1t will be the
source OF great encouragement and
'aiuable knowledge to me.
Faithfully yours.
