To The Citizens of Plainville:
One more wartime year has found the citizens of Plain- ville doing their full share in the purchase of War Bonds and Stamps. Unfortunately, Plainville has no issuing agency of its own, and all bonds must be purchased at some neighbor- ing point. The Committee has tried hard to make sure that Plainville receives credit for all bond purchases. It is felt that the figures given are always lower than our real accomplishment.
The highlight of the Fourth War Bond Drive was the Bond Rally held in the Town Hall on February 10, 1944. During the evening $12,806.50 of "E" bonds were sold. This was more than our quota. At this Rally, for the first time, Bonds were dated with the name of Plainville, Massachu- setts. This dating was also used at the bond rallies in the Fifth and Sixth War Loan Drives and was the only way to get a bond so dated.
