Here's another suggestion of
smokeless day. joseph NJ. Schwartz o
1919 West Thirty-siNth street. writes
at gives me great pleasure to add my
small contribution TO your tobacco fund
which | herewith enclose. Your wonder
! full work must fill every true Americana
| heart with Joy, because, in my opinion
nothing could cheer the boys more thar
a good smoke when lonesome from
home.
will you permit me to make sug
eestion? Why should We not have
smokeless day throughout the country
say once a week or even once month
/ and let each smoker contribute thu
( amount of cigars, cigarettes. tobacco OF
its equivalent In cash which he would
smoke that day? We have beefless days
wheat less days and many other less
! DAYS, and ! am sure that the smokes
day should prove the easiest OF all, and
YOU can depend upon the American mar
! TO back you up in the undertaking"
The fund is able TO accept only cast
contributions. but there are a number a
men in it's big army OF contributors wnt
regularly send In the equivalent In casl
! OF their purchases for smokes
Also, whatever may be thought of thu
smokeless day proposal. hundreds o
