4 Snappish Letter on the Loan

ticularly bright and snappish TO be
sure that IT brings in another ? and
= millions and no cents.
j shant expect a commission OF
over ten percent for the letter be-
cause believe we should all be pa
triotic and non-essential at a crit
ical time like this be / heard from
them 2 fellows at lydick that J
thought didn't know about me being
publicity chair man OF the Nictori-
Gus loan. They both writ in that
they had not noticed the loan men
toned I'm any OF the writeup in the
papers but that only / was men,
toned and they naturally concluded
| that IL was some private enterprise
OF my own.
I nave a few suggestions 10 make
as 10 how 10 complete the quotas on
the loan besides writing you snap
pish letters. ! suggestion is for
someone 20 roost over in the win
dow OF the American trust COM
pany where Gene Miller puts I'm his
time and gets paid well for having
gray hair, have the glass out of the
window and every time anyone
comes past that looks as IL they had
first payment, 10 hit them over
/ the head with "A club and when they
come ,. have an application for a
| bond 20 shove under their nose.
People that have the nerve TO again
/ pass the American trust company
during the loan drive j would award
them with railroad tickets TO Chi
cago or have it right there for them
because they deserve Il.
