In order to raise money for the war, a major campaign took place raising money from both the rich and the poor. Cleveland was given a quota of $45,000,000 and even working-class workers were buying $50 in bonds. Men and women from every economic class were expected to play a role in the purchase of liberty bonds and the reaching of the $45,000,000 quota. This quota was reached by utilizing a number of different techniques like going door to door, holding rallies, and setting up in public places like Nela Park.
