With Eight Days to Go Louen1an, Joseph @ Loeb Have Already
 Used 100000 Seals

The 100000 seals that Loveman, Joseph & Loeb have already used, at a revenue of 1c apiece to the Anti Tuberculosis Association of Alabama, although the original estimate of the seals that we would use before Christ mas, we now believe IS not half as many as we will use.
 Based on our own statistics of last year, that between Thanksgiving and Christmas we wrapped hundred thousand packages, we expected to use hundred thousand seals. But now we have already wrapped as many packages, eight days before Christmas, as We wrapped last year between Thanksgiving and Christmas.
 People are responding by concen- trating their purchases to the store that is contributing 1c per package for every package wrapped here.
