However, you informed me that . you did not want the individual to know that you were the agent. This man writes me and tells me that he thinks he can sell the forty at a fair price. But, he writes that his commission is five percent. Mr. MeKimey, it's evident to you that if you ere to make any sale as Agent it would be necessary that you make your sale to a man and that you are known as the agent. Other- wise, mo one of course could pay you a commission for doing something that you do not @o. I'm sure thet you understand this.

Fox Bldg., Los Angeles, Calif. $ | a0 oF, Dear Brothers: An American Patriot sells a palatial yacht for one dollar. Another gives up one hundred thousand dollars worth of job in order to render one million dollars worth of service for one dollar. Still another is willing to give up life, even. You are such a Patriot, Brother Alumnus — for you are willing to sacrifice for Our Country, limited only by your capacity to do so. Will you also be a Phi Kappa Psi Patriot? In this case, YOU give that one dollar! PHI KAPPA PSI renders the service! The object of this appeal is to get one dollar from as many Alumni Brothers as possible. That makes one dollar the minimum. But there is no maximum gift other than what you can afford — and, if you can afford more — well, why do you think this letter has been sent to you? And this is the sort of service which your dollar or dollars will help to underwrite. Prevent the loss of our chapter houses, should war empty them. Pay for the muchly needed republication of our Ritual; the continued excellence of the Shield, which is not yet self-supporting. Substitute a loyalty contribution for a National Alumni Tax, such as many other fraternities levy. Increase the efficiency of the National Organization. Provide an emergency fund. And bolster undergraduate morale by proving that our National, Administration is supported by Alumni as well as by then. All — and more — for one dollar! Won't you enlist for the duration?
