Standing left to right are J. Harold Sharpe, president of the Fort Worth Life Underwriters Association; Dr. W. P. Higgins, secretary-treasurer of the Tarrant County Medical Society, which bought $3,300 worth of bonds; Hugh M. Craig, worshipful master of Fort Worth Masonic Lodge No. 148, and Paul S. Reich, secretary of Julian Feild Masonic Lodge No. 908. All four men are wearing suits and are looking at the bond sales poster.
