Alexander Sved of the Metropolitan Opera and many other stars will be on hand to entertain the audience. Seating will be arranged according to the price of the Bonds. Boxes which seat six persons, «for $1,000.00 Bonds, (these are all sold, I sold two, to Verhovay Branch 96 families); Main floor seats $100.00 Bonds for the first half and $50.00 Bonds for the second half; Balcony seats $25.00 Bonds.

They will be only too.glad to take your application; they are: Irene Balia, Martha Cook, Matilda Kish, Betty Krumrei, Theresa Beluscheck, Grace Rozgonyi, Helen Tinich, Olga Stratinsky, Kathleen Uhlean, Margaret Willey and myself. We realize that working people are doing their share by buying Bonds through their employers, but each and everyone of us can do a little more, if we make up our minds to. Let’s not forget that our boys are giving everything to insure the freedom we have known here in this Glorious Country of ours and it is up to us to furnish the implements of war that are necessary to win this War, by buying more and more War Bonds and Stamps. Here’s hoping that every Hungarian family of Chicago and vicinity will buy an extra War Bond for this Rally, thereby proving their love and loyalty to our United States, at the same time insuring your own future by placing your money in the safest bank of the World. Looking forward to seeing you at the BOND RALLY, I remain Fraternally, MRS.
