How the U.S. Paid for War in 1918

“Henderson Fell Short on Bonds” from the French Broad Hustler, Hendersonville, Thursday, Oct. 24, 1918.

Henderson county, in keeping with many other counties, failed to raise its Liberty Bond quota this time, although the $6 billion were raised in the United States by some counties oversubscribing.

Henderson county’s part was $360,000. It raised $305,000 and this was accomplished only by hard work on the part of the committees.
