Pangborn Bond
Sales Go Over Top

The Pangborn Corporation an
nounces purchases of War Bonds by
its men and women employees in
the 7th War Loan through company
handling amounted to SHEETS. This
is $3,075 more than the 100000
quota established for the local man
isfacturing concern last April goth.
For five consecutive drives the
employees of Pangborn, men and
women engaged in making blast
cleaning and dust control equipment
for war industries, have gone over
the top in their purchases. Each
successive drive has seen the quota
become larger and larger until, in
this the Great Seventh, the
amount was equivalent to a hun
dred and fifty dollar bond sale for
each worker in the plant.
V Of the total bonds bought, 52%
were purchased by the shop and
1870 by the office. However, as the
shop has twice as many employees
as the office, the percentage of in
dividual sales was higher in the
office than in the shop.
Comparing returns with results in
the larger industries of Maryland,
the Pangborn Corporation stands
high at the top in the states list of
concerns completing their drive
and successfully meeting their 7th
War Loan quota.
