Merchants should Buy Stamps Now.

Members of the War Savings COM
mittee are frequently asked when are
rhe merchants supposed 10 buy the
stamps that they promised TO buy
with the proceeds OF cash stamp day,
june 21st They should buy imme-
liately. The idea was that all the
business men would help out the
Iune sales of stamps in Sumter coun-
ty by taking whatever money came in
from cash sales on June 2Ist and buy
ing stamps with it right off. Some
merchants have not bought yet their
stamps with the 21st money, but they
should do so without delaying longer.
