The bills are being pressed for pay
ment. and it does not seem possible
to delay the payment longer, as the
advertising agency through which
the advertising campaign was con
Quoted is insisting that these amounts
be taken up without delay Presi
dent Austin has agreed to pay $50
of this amount himself, and there is
a balance III the Chickasha National
bank of $50 left from barbecue
held at the college about two years
ago This money can be applied to
this account and with the subscrip
ton of Mr.. Austin, will amount to
$500, leaving balance of $3.50 to
be raised by collection.
"At joint meeting of the Adver.
tising and Finance committees of the
Chamber of Commerce it was decid-
ed that the only way to raise this
fund was by solicitation. At this
meeting an estimate was made by
prorating the amount to be raised
among the several business firms
and individuals. OF course this list
only represents the best Judgment of
the committee and the amount of the
collection is left entirely to youl
judgment. The committee has pos
sibly overlooked some firm or in
dividual and if so we trust that you
will solicit same"
