not only
. "THE WORLD'S
GREATEST WORKSHOP"
but
THE GOVERNMENT'S
GREATEST EQUIPMENT GENTRE
To visualize this fact, we ha,ve arranged for an
exhibition of products, for the prosecution of the
war, furnished the Government by some of our
customers.
This exhibition will be on display in our Banking
. rooms from March 11th to '16th inclusive, and will
include many articles of great diversity.
It will be well worth the time given by any serious
minded business man for its examination. ,
Further, it'will furnish a concrete example of how
the Government is spending the vast sums of
money you loan it when you purchase (
LIBERTY BONDS

Much of this money is being spent .right here in
Philadelphia and is returning to our.trade channels.
You are cordially invited to attend.
