# Help Our Town Win This Flag: Honor Flag, 4th Liberty Loan Honor Roll of Subscribers

A red-bordered service-style flag with blue stripes sits above a ruled, numbered blank sheet headed 'Honor Roll of Subscribers' (lines 1 to 100). The poster ties the loan to local pride and public visibility, so that a town's subscriptions become a shared, listed, competitive goal for an honor flag.
