Liberty Bell


Liberty Bell

Inscription:
Dedicated to you, a free citizen in a free land.

This reproduction of the Liberty Bell was presented to the people of Georgia at the direction of
The Honorable John W. Snyder, Secretary of the Treasury.

As the inspirational symbol of the United States Savings Bond Independence drive from
May 15 to July 4, 1950, the Liberty Bell was displayed in every part of the 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 yourselves as, did our founding fathers, to the principles of the individual freedom for which our nation stands.

This bell is one of three cast in France in 1950 and given to the United States government by:
American Smelting and Refining Company
Anaconda Copper Mining 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
