Made in the U. S. A."
To Enlist Millions.
This patriotic campaign of the re-
Gently organized Woman's National
Made in u. S. A. League, to enlist
the twenty million adult women of
the country, who are the home pur-
chasing agents and spenders Of the
nations money, in a great army OF
patrons CT home Industries, has be-
gun under the auspices and patron
age and active cooperation of some
Of the most distinguished w0men in
the country.
One OF the first gratifying results
of the organization Of the League was
the instant response it won from
members ana heads of women's Or
CARNATIONS of every description.
Through the organization thus patri-
~Ctically interested, is a potential
membership for the League of many
millions Of Amarican women.
The League is non-partisan. 1t will
not attempt to hold shows or exposi-
tons or endorse any specific articles
shade in U. S. A." 1t is purely and
simply q patriotic organization and
aims to crystalline the patriotic sen
timent among American women into
a better and more understanding SUP
port of home industries. If American
women get into the habit of asking
for Made in U. S. A." article, the good
practice will continue Indefinitely.
To Help Unemployed.
In a call of the League, soon to
be made public, appealing for the
support of American women in the
Made in U. s. A." movement, it is
emphasized that the consumption of
products and articles MADE in the u.
S. A." gives employment to men and
women who live in America and thus
helps at this time to aid the distress
ing and increasing problem of the
vast Number Of unemployed.
Another point is, that the men,
bers of the League will expect Amer
lean manufacturers and producers to
produce goods CT the proper quality
to be sold at the proper price. The
call points out that it is just as i'm.
portant for manufacturers and pro.
ducers to have goods of quality to
offer to women as it is to have wom-
en- demand made In USA" goods,
and that the patriotic cooperation
CT both should do much to bring
about better times and render mutual
service to this nation.
