REPORT THIRD LIBERTY LOAN COMMITTEE OF BUFFALO
To his assistant, Vice-Chairman Crofts—the indefatigable doer of many things well—
the Publicity Department owes a debt of gratitude too large to pass unrecorded. Leaving
the Publicity Director's desk at the close of the Second Liberty Loan Campaign to become
Vice-Chairman of the Third Campaign, he carried the problems of that department into
his new position and in spite of his many added burdens gave the Publicity Department
his constant thought and wise counsel, broadening many of its activities and creating many
of its policies.
The writer wishes to make special acknowledgement to the various heads who furnished
excellent reports of the work of their respective Bureaus and Committees, which have
been drawn upon freely in the preparation of this report. Among them are Albert L. Kinsey,
Alex F. Osborn, Samuel J. Harris, Miles H. Goldberg, Katharine Cooke, Lucius E. Bartlett,
Mrs. Edward H. Butler, Mrs. Anna B. Fox, Alfred H. Kirchhofer, Dr. George E. Smith
and others. The use of these reports, while savoring of plagiarism, has made possible a
somewhat complete description of an organization of which we are all proud—that of the
Third Liberty Loan Organization of Buffalo, New York.
A. G. BARTHOLOMEW,
Director of Publicity.
