The manager of the State Liberty Loan Campaign
has addressed a letter to the County Chairman stating
that where a person lives in one County and Hanks in the
adjoining County he should buy his Bonds at the bank
where he does his banking business.
Remember that the quota is given to each district ac-
cording to the bank deposits of that district. Your de-
IKisits in the hank are taken into consideration when they
tell your hank how many bonds it has to sell,
