The Woman Worker
Victory Loan Is Great Test For
Woman With Salesmanship Talents
SAN FRANCISCO. Calif., May 10
"For other mothers' sons!"
With this death-bed plea of her only son, Lieut. Edward Rankin Brainerd, ringing in her ears, Mrs. E. R. Brainerd, state chairman of the national women's Liberty loan committee, is leading the drive of California women for the million dollar objective they have set.
It has become their slogan - "For other mothers' sons!"
Mrs. Brainerd. who raised $80,000,000 in the fourth loan, regards the sale of Victory bonds as not only a summons to patriotic women, but a challenge also to the business, talents of the working woman.
"The Victory loan campaign," she said, "presents a glorious test as well as duty to women who have acquired the art of salesmanship."
Mrs. Brainerd has displayed remarkable organizing ability. The teamwork she has inspired among her co-workers in Los Angeles and throughout the state has received the biggest praise and achieved big results.
It was while she was making preliminary plans for the present loan drive that news came of the serious condition of her only son in Camp Zachary Taylor in the south. She reached him just in time to hear those, dying words.
"For these other boys, since it can't be for mine." she vowed.
A woman of wealth, perhaps as rich as any woman in California, Mrs. Brainerd's aim is to help those who cannot help themselves. She is a club woman of note, and has proven a dynamo of energy and optimism in the business and social organizations over which she presides or is an active member.
Friends have asked her how she can go on with her work, with grief over her son still so poignant.
"When I was at the hospital where my boy, died," she said, "a nurse asked me to step into a room where lay a soldier, seriously ill. "He is suffering," said the nurse "calling constantly for his mother, who can not come because she has no money. He'll not live long."
I went in. He opened his eyes and looked at me.
"Whose blessed mother are you?" he asked. I told him. He smiled and held my hand and thanked me.
"There are many such boys whose mothers cannot come to them. And that's why I am out to ask a million dollars from the people of my state.
"For other mothers' sons!"
