, LIBERTY BOND SALE
A COSTLY UNDERTAKING
, I
- i
! It Is now learned that. 100,000,000'
pieces of mail were sent through thej
Washington post office alone to ad-j
vertise and sell this bond issue. When
the actual cost of this is figured up,
if it r* ever figured up, it will prove
to be a staggering argument in favor
of newspaper advertising.
However, there is a strong possi
bility that the expense never will be
made known to congress. All of this
matter was franked. But the epense
was there just the same. The cost of
handling alone ran into very large !
figures. It is not pretended even by
the post office authorities that the
force of that department is so elastic
that it can handle an txtra 100.000,000
pieces of mail without extra expenses.
The 100,000,000 pieces of mail com
prised circulars, posters, printed mat
ter mailed to newspapers and letters
on the subject of the loan. For the
most part it was pure advertising—
advertising by circular and poster,
free space advertising for newspapers,
advertising by cards and pictures—in
fact, a stupendous advertising output
to sell the bonds of the second Liberty
loan without paying anything to thej
newspapers.
