not being fully displayed on Market
street.
Special provision has been made to
amply supply every merchant with pos
ters, to put in his windows facing on
Market street. Inasmuch as the pos
ters had been distributed by an eff
cient corps of workers the committee
could not understand the foundation for
the complaint. The distribution mana
ger for the committee, promptly made
a personal investigation, and found to
his astOnishment, that a large number
OF posters had been placed inside the
stores, where they could be seen by
only the customers who entered the
stores.
Upon asking why this was done, he
was informed in a number Of cases,
that the merchants in question did not
want TO spoil the appearance Of their
window trims by placing the posters
against the windows. It.was evidently
more important to these merchants that
the stock they had for sale be more
adequately displayed to the public view
than the beautiful posters advertising
the Fourth Liberty Loan, which are
not only provided by the government,
but are provided for this particular
purpose. In Philadelphia, New York
and the larger cities these posters are
given positions Of prominence in the
windows.
It is only fair to say that not all the
merchants have failed in this regard as
many have arranged special window
displays advancing the loan. The pa
triotlsm Of these merchants is not
questioned, neither have they been
asked whether or not they have done
their duty in buying Liberty Loan
Bonds for invariably they have been
liberal subscribers.
The committee is having a trying
time of it through the sickness OF
many Of their volunteer workers. and
10 is up to everybody to put their shOul-
der TO the wheel, and help out. One
Of the ways that this can be done is
for every merchant TO have at least
one poster placed directly on the inside
Of each bulk window and not have
them placed inside the store. Market
street is the one street in Wilmington
where this display OF posters should
be conspicuous and unless the mer-
chants give their fullest cooperation
this result cannot be accomplished.
There is a large supply Of posters at
headquarters and merchants who have
not received any posters will be well
coined il they will call for same or if
they will cali on the phone, the Boy
Scouts detailed 10 headquarters will
make a prompt delivery.
School teachers desiring posters and
other Liberty Loan literature, are re-
quested to send a note along with the
boy they send for the literature. In
this way, there can be little oppOrtu-
nifty for imposition.
The Penn Mutual Insurance Company,
reported a subscription Of 5000 to-
day through its Wilmington office.
The Remington Machine Company
also went over the top yesterday. Every
employe of the plant was a bond buyer
and the establishment has the proud
distinction OF winning an honor flag
because Of It being 100 per cent. pa
triOtic.

Plans for the parade today week, if
