From the Hickory Daily Record, April 22, 1919
Tank and Trophies
Here This Week
Chairman J.D. Elliott has been notified that the American
tank, a part of the Victory Liberty loan exhibit, will arrive in Hickory not
later than midnight of the 23rd. This tank will remain in Hickory
until the afternoon or evening of the 24th.
Another interesting feature of the campaign this week will
be the arrival of a special train consisting of two flat cars, one baggage car,
sleeper and dining car. This is known as the trophy train and will be filled
with interesting trophies of the big war. Also, first class speakers will
accompany the train. Hickory people will welcome the news that this train is
under the charge of an old Hickory boy, Harry Little. This exhibit is scheduled
to arrive in Hickory Thursday, April 24, at 8:25 p.m. and will leave Friday,
April 25, at 7 a.m.
[I wonder if the
times are correct. There won’t be much time for viewing.]
