Excerpt from The Story of the Liberty Loans: Being a Record of the Volunteer Liberty Loan Army, Its Personnel, Mobilization and Methods; How America at Home Backed Her Armies and Allies in the World War History contains no more romantic page than that which must be assigned to Liberty Loan workers. Their story is replete with deeds of sacrifice, bravery and triumph. The oating of Liberty Bonds was no mere commercial transaction to be performed by anyone capable of selling a commodity. It was an adventure into a great unknown field, the very nature of which demanded and called forth to service the most highly developed skill in virtually every branch of our national life. From the volunteers who came into the work there was organized the most capable civilian army of all time, and when it took up arms in behalf of the great cause it was but natural that every obstacle should be swept aside and that the organization should go forward to complete and glorious victory.
