Dedicated To You, A Free Citizen In A Free Land
This reproduction of the Liberty Bell was presented to the people of
California
by direction of
The Honorable John W. Snyder
Secretary of 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 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 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 * Miami Copper Company
Anaconda Mining Company * Phelps Dodge Corporation
Kennecott Copper Corporation * The American Metal Company, Limited
