July 20, 1944 Dre Fe Ce Allen Kansas University Laurence, Kansas Dear Dr. Allens We wish to take this opportunity to express our sincere appreciation on behalf of Mr. Thomas E. Wilson and Wilson & Co. for your active interest in the bond sales tour of Kansas recently completed by our Six-Horse Hitch of Clydesdales and the Victory Bond Wagon. To all who co-operated with this tour -- Kansas Livestock Association officials, members of the State and County War Savings Staff, persons who arranged the local bond rallies, and those who co-operated through press and radio -- must go credit for its success. Through your efforts a total of over $2,000,000.00 in bonds were sold from the. Bond Wagon. In addition, the importance of purchasing bonds was again brought to the attention of meny persons in those communities in which the Bond Wagon made an appearance. Under separate cover, we have mailed you a souvenir of the Wilson Bond Wagon, which we want you to accept as an expression of our appreciation for your help in making the bond sales tour a real suecess. 8 rd So.
