tiUns have been issued to seek for
bond purchasers among the very pcO-
pie whom the sales forces may first

campaign managers that instances have

that in some cases more money has
been received from the overlooked ones
than from those they had ON their
lists.
lyon never can tell where a bond
can be sold" said Manager Guy But
tolph, yesterday, and proceeded to cite
an instance.
Sales lieutcnants had passed by
certain house where two women lived,
their sympathies gaining the upper
hand in the problem of whether or

call, but they anticipated crossing Off

On entering the house they found
that the women were really waiting
for some of the sales force to call upon

ably surprised, and put down the ex-

Incidentally the sales workers casual

when he said he would take five hun

Buttloph figures that it will be worth
while for purchasers to figure on sub,

original quota, even though Hawaii
does 90 over and beyond the quota.
"And Hawaii will certainly do that
little thing" adds the manager.
The Kauai campaign is going along

dollars having been pledged up to noon
