Circular No. 116

October 16, 1918.

TO THE BANK OR TRUST COMPANY ADDRESSED:
It has come to our attention that on the
Second and Third Liberty Loans a number of banks
did not make a subscription to us ~n amount 3ut•
ficient to cover the total subscriptions received
by them , the pur pos e being to make an allowance for
defaulted subscriptions.
The greatly increased quota given the
Seventh Federal Reserve District for the Fou·th
Liberty Lean makes i t lmperat i ve that.eve y subscription r eceived by the banks be covered by their
subscription to us. The 1ot initi al pa~ment amply
protects all banks aga in3t def ault. Theref or e, there
must be no exceptions made to this rule .
