Dedicated to you, a free citizen in a
free land
This reproduction of the Liberty Bell
was presented to the people of Arkansas
by direction of the Honorable John W.
Snyder, Secretary of the Treasury.
As the inspirational symbol of the
United States Savings Bonds Independence Drive from
May 15 to July 4, 1950, it
was displayed in every part of this state.
The dimensions and tone are identical
with those of the original Liberty Bell when it
rang out our independence in
1776.
In standing before this symbol, you
have the opportunity to dedicate yourself, as did our
founding fathers, to the
principles of the individual freedom for which our nation stands.
This bell is one of fifty-three cast
in France in 1950, and given to the United States
Government by:
American Smelting and Refining
Company
Anaconda Copper
Refining Company
Kennecott
Copper Corporation
Miami Copper Company
Phelps Dodge Corporation
The American Metal Company Limited
Steel supports by U.S. Steel
Corporation's American Bridge Company
