Two Bits A Day Clubs

Out in Phoenix, Ariz., a move

formation of Two Bits a Day"
clubs, the members of which are
to buy a quarters worth of Thrift
Stamps every day. Three men
each took hundred Thrift cards,
pasted one stamp in each card, and
sold the entire lot before two
blocks had been covered.
1.-TWO bits is the old term, dat
ing back to the early days of the
country, for a quarter of dollar,
and is still used in the South and
West. Every patriotic American
now wants ito do his Bit; the
members of these clubs are carry
ing out this idea finely in doing
their "two bits every day. 1t is
hoped that 1.-TWO Bits Day" clubs
will be formed all over the country
in the great war-savings campaign.
