In order to accomplish these purposes the first thing
is to have money work with, to establish headquarters
in Portland with manager and clerks, to do all that
seems to be necessary and best accomplish the good
work that is being attempted.
For this purpose the State of Maine is asked to raise
100000 and the Oxford County quota be $4,000

County who are interested in the above work to send
their contributions freely and willingly for this purpose
There are no paid officials whose duty is collect
the money or to go about asking for same but for
good cause as the above it seems there should be
ready response.
With the necessary money to work with, and with
the experience of the business behind this
ment it hardly possible that the money will fail
be spent to good advantage that the seed sown will
fail to bear good fruit.
This organization is POLITICAL there are represent
atves of all parties the only quality asked for in its
ecutives is that they shall be capable efficient and hon
men, who have the welfare of the State heart and
who have had experience to make them good men for
the work they are asked to do.

money to carry on this good work. and it is earnestly

sona appeal to them and whether they capable Of

fully received and every will be used wisely and with
the utmost economy for the good of the people of the
State OF Maine for the above named objects and such
other good objects may come up from time to time.
We are very often asked to contribute to many and
various purposes all of them for good causes and with
good intentions, but some of them rather vague and
with the object somewhat hidden in the msts of distance
and uncertainty, but this object is right at home where
we the results We know the objects aimed at are
good and right. and that the State of Maine will be
better state to live in these purposes are accomplished
We trust that the local Chambers of Commerce and
Boards of Trade, Oranges the manufacturing establish
ments, all Savings Banks National Banks and Trust
Companies corporations of all kinds and Stores as well
as individuals, will act promptly and literally.
Remember that no member of any committee benefits
in any way excepting for the good that will come from
this organization. There salaries travelling
expenses reward in any way except the satisfaction
OF trying to do what for the good of the State of
Maine.
This favor is respectfully asked by the Oxford County
members of this organization
