GLAD TO HELP
WORTHY CAUSE

Company nave taken up subscription
for "Our Boys in France Tobacco
Fund" and as a result an addition to
that fund Of So is announced.
r. l.. Ritz. Of the Delaware Hard Fibre
Company, has long been very much in
lterested in the matter OF sending
"smokes" TO our fighting men on the
% other side. Several weeks ago he made
a suggestion that Il might be well to
start a campaign for the accumulation
OF tobacco, cigars and cigarettes In the
various cigar stores, having receptacles
in each store where anyone who pur-
chased smokes" for himself might at
the same time deposit in such recepta-
cles an equal amount for the boys on
the other side. Unfortunately, as was
explained 70 him. the shipping facilities
would not permit Of the carrying out
OF this plan. Furthermore, the con-
tribution Of the individual under this
plan would only be the actual retail
value Of the cigars or cigarettes pur-
chase. When u was explained that
through Our Boys IN France Tobacco
Fund" for every 81 contributed $50
retail value of tobacco and cigarettes
was actually delivered and distributed
10 the fighting men on the otter side II
did not take him long 10 realize the
advantages OF the plan worked out by
"Our BOYS in France Tobacco Fund and
the check representing the subscrip-
tions Of the employees OF his company is
the result. His letter follows;
Wilmington. Del, oct. 8, 1918.
