More than $4,000,000 in Israel bonds were sola in communities throughout the nation which conducted special Israel bond drives in synagogues during the High Holy days, it was announced today by Henry Montor, vice-president of the State of Israel bond organization.
Mr. Montor stated that one of the outstanding selling jobs in the nation was accomplished by Milwaukee, where almost $350,000 in bonds were sold in synagogues which joined in the enterprise. More record-breaking returns were achieved in Washington, D.C., where $306,000 worth of bonds were sold.
