Description
This photograph is labeled "Libery Loan Day, WWI, 1918". It depicts the intersection of Grand River Avenue and Michigan Avenue, Howell, Michigan. The view is looking west from the intersection with the First Presbyterian Church in the distance.
In May 1917, all American citizens were urged to buy Liberty Bonds for the purpose of carrying on the efforts in World War I. An article in the Livingston Republican, May 30, 1917, asked all citizens to subscribe to the "Liberty Loan", and residents of Livingston County were asked to do all they could by helping. The Livingston County Liberty Loan Committee was formed with the following members: Hugh A. McPherson, R. B. McPherson, F. J. Shields, W. P. VanWinkle, A. L. Smith, and E.L. Smith.
