To the Editor Of the Record:


To the Editor Of the Record:
Dear Sir:
would appreciate it as a great
favor if you would be willing to pub
lish in your valuable paper the follow
ing Acknowledgements of the Chair
man of the Liberty Loan Committee
for Lambertville Banking District.
AS the Campaign was not his but
the property and the interest of all
the loyal citizens of Lambertville, it
would be highly out of place for him
to presume to thank any one. The
whole body of citizens, as was only
to be expected in this patriotic Com
munity, rallied to the success of the
Campaign and they did it from no
personal motive but for only their
Country's and their Community's sake.
l am sure that we all feel the appre-
citation of grateful Government for
what we as city and as individuals
have been able to do.
Nevertheless it seems to me that
public acknowledgement ought to be
made of the services of some who
were able, by being asked, to take
larger part in the Campaign. The
Chairman regrets that the space does
not permit the mentioning of the SER
vices of every one of the three hun
bred workers who all were necessary
to the magnificent result.
Special acknowledgement is hereby
made of the following: The Lambert
vile Rubber Co. for the thermometer
and A Boards; Mrs. George M. Hol-
combe for the use of her store on
Union street; The Postmaster and his
clerks and mail carriers for their CO.

agement of the Strand Theatre for
their generous assistance in the Cam
paign in every possible way; and to

that laid every possible emphasis on
the Campaign; to the Lessees of the
Background and the property north,
for the use of it during the presence
of the tanks and the exercises of the
High School; and to the Factory Su-
perintendents of our city for their
throwing open of their mills to the
Factory Canvass.
Hearty acknowledgement should be
made of the untiring efforts of every
Captain and Canvasser, and of those
who volunteered for the canvass in
the last week of the Campaign and
for the Factory Canvass; of the young
ladies who under Miss Kate Buchanan
as their efficient Chief undertook and
accomplished the arduous task keep
ing the records of every visit and
subscription; and of the Ladies Lib
erty Loan Committee, which Miss
Mary G. Brown as Chairman though
independent from the Mems Com
mittee yet co-operated most willing
ly in countless and absolutely indis-
pensible ways, in addition conducting
complete Canvass of the city.
