A week ago figures that were available at that time showed Brunswick with having puichased only 18 per cent of its quota. This week, with no figures having been compiled from headquarters, enough information is available to enable it to be said that Brunswick is at least halfway to the goal. With this week and next week still to be heard from, before the campaign ends, County Chairman LeRoy Mintz is beginning to feel more confident that the county will reach its goal. Following the course laid out last week by Shallottc business interests, who responded 100 per cent to sugestions that they sponsor advertising of the bond isue, Bolivia and Supply business men are doing the same thing this week. Last week this paper carlied two solid pages of war bond advertising paid fod by Shallotto people. This week it has a page each from Bolivia and Supply anil still another page from Shallotte. It is noteworthy that every business man and woman approachcd at halottc, Bolivia nd Supply Mas eager to cooperate. They conside.ed the bonds the very best investment that could be made for the future welfare and business stability of the cou;; W Mi tiie interest- that is being Kindled there is small wonder that Chairman Mintz and the other loyal i ; ^ 3 vomers are Deginning iu iceu pleased at the way the drive is taking shape. Brunswick will not be sending any good news to Japan about the failure of the 7th War Loan if Brunswick people keep on being patriotic and investing in the 7th War Loan.
