“ Pergler consisted of representative men of each community, men hard to reach and not easy to convince; but once convinced these men become zealous supporters of the cause. Friendship between America and Czechoslovakia has been greatly strengthened by the tireless work of the Czechoslovak representative. ”

“ Pergler’s second lecture trip covered the Central West, states and cities which unlike the South know something of Bohemia through Bohemian immigrants who live in hundreds of thousands in this section of the United States; but even to the educated people of Chicago and Cleveland conditions and events in the Czechoslovak republic are a sealed book. ”
Thomas Čapek, Jr., The Czechoslovak Review (1919)
“ Pergler entertained at breakfast a number of the influential citizens of Richmond and told them of the splendid commercial opportunities presented to American business men in the new state. The principal event of the day and of the entire visit to the old capital of the Confederacy was the presentation of a Czechcoslovak flag to the State of Virginia by its citizens of Czechoslovak birth or descent ”
