SMITH MOTOR TRUCK CORP.
Will Continue on Its Payroll Men Call
ed Into War Service.

Great impetus to recruiting oy
men in the employ of Smith Motor
Truck Corporation. has been given
through an announcement that fam
lilies of those who enlist will be car
ed for during the period OF the war:
When the declaration of state OF
war was announced. the order was
issued by E / Rosenfeld. president
of the company, to hold open the
Jobs for men in the employ of the
company who should be called to
the colors by their regimental com
manders. In addition to merely
guaranteeing a position for these
men when they should return, Mr.
Rosenfeld decided to 60 further with
his plan and to lend practical assist
ance to the government in its efforts
to secure men.
It was determined that certain
nercent of the salary received by
the man who leaves the employ OF
the Smith Motor Truck Corporation
to ioin the army should be given
each week to his dependents. The
amount so given will depend upon
individual needs.
Every man and every manufac-
tpring concern must share the bur-
den" states Mr. Rosenfeld, and we
believe that we can do no less than
to encourage every man to DO MS
duty as he sees it, and TO stand Ds
his country.
ITO enable him 10 take his place
in the ranks and at the same time 10
rest assured that his loved ones are
provided for, we have decided TO
lend practical aid to the government
by continuing his name On the pay
roll and sending his family his cnecK.
On return from the front, every
man who was associated with the
corporation at the time of his enlist
ment will be given his old job
[The Smith Form-a-Truck will very
shortly be placed on sale at this
place, through their agent, Mr. Ihos
McCutchen, and as mark of our
appreciation of what this great cor
poration is doing for its employees
who have or may yet be called into
war service, we will give two year s
subscription to The County Record
and Southern Ruralist to the hrst
purchaser in this county Of a Smith
'Form-a-Truck from the local agent.
