these paper folders like you could
the bonds.
That Liberty Bond put up by the
Farmers 4 Merchants State Bank Of
Plentywood, for $4,000 was kept
with the warrants Of the Farmers &
Merchants State Bank, in the same
kind Of folder. As to the FIVE one
thousand dollar bonds put up by the
Farmers 4 Merchants State Bank of
Plentywood, they were endorsed as a
receipt for them but the bonds were
not endorsed. Certainly the Liberty
Bond was not endorsed, except on the
receipt. They were not endorsed O
the face or back of the bond. The
warrants pledged by the Farmers &
Merchants State Bank of Plentywood
were endorsed to me; all of them.
1t was a blank endorsement; | don't
remember exactly. Don't remember

look were not endorsed on the bonds,
neither were the sixteen bonds that
came from the Citizens State Bank
of Dooley; not on the body of the
bond, no.
