INSTITUTE
All of us associated with The Franklin Institute are gratified by the support given by its benefactors in the past. Without their generosity our privately endowed Institute would have been unable to serve industry, the professions, and the public as it has and should. There is still a continuing and pressing need of contributions and bequests -both for general and specific endowment, and of income to be judiciously used. Your response will be most earnestly appreciated. Checks should be made payable to The Franklin Institute, and sent to The Franklin Institute, Benjamin Franklin Parkway at 20th Street, Philadelphia 3, Pennsylvania. Where property is transferred, title should be in the name of The Franklin Institute of the State of Pennsylvania for the Promotion of the Mechanic Arts. We shall be glad to supply any additional information regarding gifts and memorials. Please write to the above address, attention of the Endowment Department.
