The Elevator Constructor FRANK J. SCHNEIDER, Editor Volume XIV PERRY BUILDING, PHILADELPHIA 16th and Chestnut Streets Entered as second-class matter April 8, 1907, at the Post Office at Philadelphia, JUNE, 1917 Number 6 NOW SPELLED SUCCESS FIRST VICE-PRESIDENT AMERICAN FEDERATION OF LABOR PRESIDENT GRANITE CUTTERS INTERNATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF AMERICA MEMBER U. S. COMMISSION TO RUSSIAN REPUBLIC Liberty Bonds "Liberty Bonds are a safe investment, and it is a patriotic duty to subscribe for them." In these words Samuel Gompers, President of the American Federation of Labor, has called upon the organized workers of the country to get behind the Government and help to make the Liberty Loan of 1917 a great success. He declared that it was the patriotic duty of every member of the American Federation of Labor to subscribe for as large an amount of the Liberty Bonds as his means will permit. Never before have the workers of America had such an attractive opportunity to become holders of United States Government bonds. The most gilt-edged securities offered for investment of savings have been put within easy reach of all. To enable workers to acquire Liberty Loan Bonds various methods of payment in small installments have been devised in different cities and communities. Never was the opportunity for popular support of the Government so linked with patriotic service. It has ceased to be a question of, "Am I able to buy a Liberty Bond?" Bankers, employers and business men have arranged terms of payment so that every man and woman will be able to help. The members of this organization should do their best to put this organization in the vanguard of the subscribers to the Liberty Loan. Every dollar provided quickly and expended wisely will tend to shorten the war and save human life. |
