The state's War Savings Campaign was headquartered in Winston-Salem and organized by Col. F.H. Fries appointed by the Secretary of the Treasury of the United States. The campaign focused on two goals; first, to make citizens more aware of World War I and second, to finance war efforts. The campaign raised $27,649,397, only 56.8 percent of the state's intended goal of $48,666,380.
