proving RredueT ali ONeI lne county
than the Red Cross Association ever
most fondly dreamed. In all the cit
les the sale has been enormous and
the constant cry is for more. They
are being rushed from the War de-
partment at Washington, however
and the supply will be increased here
as soon as possible. Mr.. Sampson,
the secretary OF the Kentucky branch.
has mail~d already some of the
stamp books to Paducah. These have
proved very popular in Louisville.
The Civics department will bring the
stamps more actively before the pub
lie the coming week.
Some idea of the interest being
manifested in the Christmas Stamp
sale may be gathered when il Is
known that the Philadelphia paper,
the North American, has agreed to be
responsible for the sale Of one million
stamps.
One clothing firm in Louisville has
taken 10 900 OF the stamps. Letters
coming out from louisville already
have the stamps on them.
OF the sale in Nashville, the Banner
says:
The demand for the Christmas
Red Cross Stamps Is becoming great
er every day. Merchants are tele-
phoning constantly to headquarters
for more stamps, and the first supply
at the Office is almost completely ex-
hausted. More, however, are being
rushed from the War department at
Washington and will be here in a
day or so. before the supply is ex-
hausted from the stores. One thou
sand one hundred and eighty stamps
were sold at Phillips & Buttorff's on
Monday, the first day the stamps were
put on sale, and on Tuesday 1.2S3
were sold from the same store. This
firm Is so interested in the sale of the
Christmas Stamps that they have
placed the attractive stamp table near
the door in a conspicuous place. even
going so far as TO close one side door
in this extreme busy season that the
place may be more comfortable for
the young lady in charge. Many of
the clerks in the store are making II
their business to speak of the stamps
to their customers, many Of them es-
corting customers to the table"
