Scope and content
A republican flier used to publicize the issuing of Irish Bond Certificates in the United States. A comparison is drawn between Benjamin Franklin’s visit to Ireland in 1769 and Eamon de Valera’s visit to the America in 1919. The flier asks ‘Will America do unto Ireland in 1920 as Ireland did unto America in 1769?’ Readers are asked to ‘Subscribe for the bond certificates of the Republic of Ireland and mail your check today to Eamon De Valera, 411 Fifth Avenue, New York’.
