In 7 Your sign Your message from the Our Sign Day Ing.V/Mö.780. 5.9.41. Subject: Participation of the merchants in the gathering of the German Red Cross. Mr. Secretary of State, the Central Association of Commerce has made use of the collection of the government of the Brotektorate Bohemia and Moravia for the Deutsche Rote Kreuz to influence the purchasing team, so that as much money as possible is donated for this noble purpose. In particular, I had caused constant appeals in the newsletters of the economic groups affiliated to the Central Trade Association. Furthermore, the individual trading companies were asked to report their donations to the central trade association. As a result of this action, I can report to you today a rise in trade within the framework of the collection of the government of the Protectorate in the height of 7,200,000.-- crowns. Considering that in the trade the small and medium-sized enterprise strongly prevails, the result does not seem to me unfavorable. In any case, the donations in the area of trade have increased considerably compared to the previous year. I ask you to take note of this short notice. Heil Hitler ! Your very devoted . /Ing.Erich Vogt/. L-7d/4i
