Notes
Condition: wrinkled, puckered.; Newspaper article attached to the back of print reads: "Going to a Good Cause, funds in the treasury of the Colorado Women's Temperance Union were used Wednesday to buy $2,500 worth of war bonds. The union received a $5,000 legacy from the estate of the late Miss Florence Harris of Denver, but before any part of this could be employed for bond purchase the executive committee had to vote its approval. Approval was given, and L.M Montania, deputy state bond administrator, turned the bonds over to Nina Bear, W.C.T.U. treasure, and received a check in return, as shown here. Mrs. Adrianna Hungerford, president; Mrs. H.B. Teller, vice president, and Mrs. Caroline Minkner, secretary, where present for the ceremony.; Title supplied.; R7100296385
