81, NOW IN THE LIMIT CLUB

Bismarck has put over its biggest
drive. Before. night rings down the
curtain on the War Savings Stamp
campaign. the capital city will have
subscribed approximately 100 per cent
S0f It's SIZE, 900 quota of War Savings
Stamps. Originally regarded as a
tribe. a side issue for the Riddles, and
something not of sufficient Importance
to occupy the attention of full-fedged
business men, the War Savings Stamp
developed ten days ago into the big
gest issue of the war to date for Bis
marck. Committees were called to-
gether, and County Chairman George
F.. Dullam and City Chairman r. NJ.
Bergeson explained the proposition.
They made It clear that Uncle Sam cx-
pected Bismarck and Burleigh county
to buy their $40 per capita worth of
Savings Stamps and that II they were
not bought now the city. and county
would be asked to subscribe just SO
much more in the Fourth Liberty loan,
to say nothing of enjoying the un-
pleasant satisfaction Of knowing that
Bismarck and Burleigh had fallen
down for the first time SINCE the be-
ginning of the war. aiS3s!
The real campaign opened Tuesday
morning. The committees exhausted
their cards the first day. They took
ha1f-day's rest and then went at it
again. Since Wednesday noon there
has been no let-up. Friday7ti1e United
Commercial Travellers got into the
game. They got in, with their usual
energy and enthusiasm and efficiency.
They have helped 2 heap. Every man
on the entire seventeen teams has
worked hard. And Bismarck has put
over its, biggest selling campaign, dis
posing of $4,000 worth of securities
in five days time. s.. b. scg&.at rs
