HOPE TO NET $4,000
BY RED CROSS SEALS

Few people have any conception of
the magnitude of the Red Cross Christ
mas seal campaign. Here are a few
figures that will show what a gigantic
movement this is, Already 225,0O0,-
GOO seals have been printed and prac-
ticalIy that entire number distributed
to agents in every state and territory
of the Union from Alaska in the north
to the canal zone in the south and
from Porto Rico in the east TO Hawaii
in the west Advertising circulars,
posters, cards, etc, to the number of
several million have also been dis
tributed. Not less than 100000 per
sonai letters asking people to buy seals
have been sent out. 1t is estimated
that the army Of workers, nearly all Of
whom are volunteers, engaged in sell
ing the seals numbers wen over 500
coo The advertising and publicity do
mated 10 the campaign amounts TO
several hundred thousand dollars.
Every effort is being put forth to sell
$4,000. 900 seals, or less than one for
every man, woman and child in the
United States. This will mean $780,
900 for the anti-tuberculosis campaign
in the United States, and particularly
all of the 1900 anti-tuberculosis as
sociations Of the country derive their
support from Red Cross seals.
The sale of seals in Rock Island is
under the direction Of the Helpers
circle OF Kings Daughters, whose spe-
cial obligation assumed is the care OF
the tuberculosis patients in the city.
Seals have been placed in many of
the downtown stores and will be Offer
ed for sale In the postoffice, shortly.
