Christening "U-BUY-A-BOND" (LOC)

from The Library of Congress

• B-59 said:

  "The christening was done by Mrs. Guy Emerson, who banged the snout of the submarine with a bottle of champagne and renamed it the "U-Buy-A-Bond." There were some who said the submarine backed up and said "I won't," but it didn't matter anyway, for three men had already dashed into the craft's interior and gained tho honor of being the first to subscribe in a former German ship." The sun., October 26, 1917, Page 3, col 2 chroniclingamerica.loc.gov/lccn/sn83030431/1917-10-26/ed-...

  The husband of Mrs. Emerson (likely the man behind her) was at that time vice president of the National Bank of Commerce and secretary of the Liberty Loan Committee, s. photo in the Evening star., October 19, 1917, Page 19 (he is the man standing on the right) chroniclingamerica.loc.gov/lccn/sn83045462/1917-10-19/ed-... and the NYT, June 10, 1917 query.nytimes.com/mem/archive-free/pdf?res=9401E1DE133BEE...
