'"sure, Henderson county viii finish
the job" said e. W. Ewbank, chair
man of the Victory Loan committee.

Over $4,000 worth Of bonds were
sold in the business district on Tues
day morning On Wednesday, wealth
er permitting, ten motor cars filed
with solicitors were to have toured
the county. Weather not permitting,
this will be done later. The Victory
Loan committee believes that the
county will go over the top, but at the
same time believes it will take hard
the part of the people to attain this
end.
The campaign here promises to be
short and snappy, and really started
on Tuesday of this week. The results
already attained are gratifying to
Chairman Ewbank and his associates
on the committee and are also a tes-
timonial to the patriotism of, the COM

The city's bankers are still insis

gilt-edged character of the investment
offered in Victory Bonds. They point
out that it is the promise so pay Of
all the people Of the greatest and the
richest nation of the earth. The in
terest rate is exceptionally attra ctjye
The purpose. of the loan is to pay
debts contracted that the men and the
women of this county and nation anG
the world might be safe and free to
live.
Henderson boys have done their
full share, men and women here Ge-I
clare and those who were privileged
to be shielded by these boys will no;
shirk now that their share of the JOB
I is to be finished.
