PAYS $500 IN CASH
| FOR Thrift STAMPS
AbSalom George, Persian, First
Local Member Of HOlCOmb Club

During all the Liberty bond cam
paign, more War Stamp sales have
DeGn made than at any other time,
which goes to prove that the big drive
Is having q beneficial effect in unex-
pected ways. No special push has
been made to sell War Stamps, while
the bond sale was on, SO that the
result has been a great surprise to
the War Stamp campaign managers.
1t is not proposed to desist from the
good work one quota, but to begin
big drive for the sale of the stamps
just as soon as the Liberty bond CAM
palgn is over, SO that the sale Of
stamps will continue to increase. II
the sales increase while the bond cam
paign is on, it is the feeling of the
managers that after the bond issue
has been taken UP, the stamp sales,
having the right of way, should GER
tainly go ahead of anything yet &C.
complished.
Absalon George, a, Persian tailor at
NO. 6S Broad street, has the distinc-
ton of being the first member re-
ported for the Holcomb club, which
Senator George w. klett is organizing
in New Britain. Mr.. George bought
$500 worth of Thrift Stamps and paid
for them in cold cash. Tigran Ser

| though he would buy $500 more be-
fore the year is out, SO Big Bill Taft
| will have a chance to welcome a
Persian brother in his Taft club.
The Persian tailor and the Italian

| big purchase was reported a few

| Thrift Stamp patriotism.
