Here she is and isn’t she a beauty! If you bought a war bond last April, you should be thrilled
to see this great bomber. It is the Boeing B-17 Flying Fortress, latest model of this high-altitude,
daylight precision bomber. It has four engines and a wing span of approximately 104 feet. It has
a top speed of over 300 miles per hour and carries a bomb load of ten tons. The bomber is heavily
armed, too. Let’s buy another Bomber in September!

TO ALL OIJR EMPLOYEES
You are undoubtedly familiar, through newspaper publicity,
that the United States Government is launching another War Loan
Drive and that the Secretary of Treasury has set a goal of $15.-
000,000,000.00, which is a stupendous amount.
I received a letter, a few days ago, from the Secretary of the
Treasury in Washington, in which he writes as follows:
“One of our greatest tasks in the September Third
War Loan Drive will be the sale of additional bonds to the
men and women on the office and plant payrolls of America—
bonds over and above their present participation in Payroll
Savings.
“A recent survey shows that the average family in
comes are far greater than ever before; that one out of every
two workers is in a family where two or more people are em
ployed. Therefore, it seems apparent that during the Third
War Loan Drive an average sale of an extra $100.00 bond, or
a bond equivalent to two weeks’ pay, exclusive of regular
Payroll Savings subscriptions, is an attainable goal.”
The quota which the Treasury Department has set for Tran
sylvania County for the Third War Loan Drive is $432,000.00.
Our war efforts are in full swing; our Armed Forces are
doing a marvelous job. Those of us who stay at home must do
their share by supplying the necessary money to the government
to buy the equipment which is essential for the successful prose
cution of this war.
While reports we receive are very encouraging and while our
Armed Forces are making steady progress, by no means has the
time arrived when we—those on the Home Front—can slacken
in our efforts.
Ecusta Paper Corporation, Champagne Paper Corporation
and Endless Belt Corporation, will buy War Bonds to the maxi
mum of their ability.

THIRD WAR LOAN
DRIVE STARTS ON
SEPTEMBER 9TH.
Recreational Department To
Give Series Of Programs
In County
Our various companies, as well
as all employees are expected to
go “all-out” in the purchase of
war bonds during the Third War
Loan drive which officially starts
September 9 and lasts throughout
the month.
Published elsewhere in this issue
is an urgent appeal from President
Harry Straus.
The Transylvania county quota«
is $432,000, which is about four
times as large as the county’s
Second War Loan drive quota, and
is $100,000 more than have ever
been sold in the county during
one month’s time.
The county war bond committee
has already made elaborate plans
to conduct the drive and these
plans include holding a series of
meetings in various school build
ings of the county.
In co-operation with this com
mittee’and the Treasury Depart
ment, our recreational department
has agreed to give a program at
each of these meetings featuring
the famed Ecusta string band, the
Ecusta trio and other special acts.
Rehearsals are now underway
and the various participants seem
to be eager to co-operate in every
possible way even though these
programs will require right much
time.
“We realize that it is our first
duty to do everything possible to
help bring about a speedy Victory
and we are happy to do what little
we can to back up our boys in
service,” one member of the string
band declared.
