You worked hard and long to get
ready for Christmas. didn't your You
had overtime" right along; II not In
your office then In wearisome shopping
or gift making. But. cheer up! You are
not the only toiler. Miss Anne Morgan

working fifteen hours q day.
And she kept It up for six weeks. too.
She began Nov. 10. the day after the

ton which actually brought the Spugs
into being.
And after adopting Miss Morgan's res
olution with acclaim. those girls went
right to work and made her Chairman

that the average working day Of J. Pier

toward converting FIRST New York and
then America TO the virtue and neces.

charter member OF the Spug association
had copy OF the steps for Spugs, y
which urged q sort Of endless chain

pledged to secure four other Spugs. Tn,
