Chase County Kansas Historical Sketches 1863 - 2003

FIRST LIBERTY BOND DRIVE

The first Liberty Bond drive was held in Cedar Point in early October 1917. A parade was sponsored by the school children of surrounding schools and on the hay rack was the Goddess of Liberty.

The schools had a part in the program and Mr. William Allen White of Emporia was the speaker encouraging all to buy war bonds to support World War I and at the close of the program many could be seen going to the bank to purchase bonds.
