W%ANTED-W0RKERS IN
THRIFT CAMPAIGN
Help Your Country to Win the
War. What Committees
Are Doing.

n national war Savings CoiIliiiItlee
calls attention to the fact that any
one may become an agent for war
savings and thrift stamps, carrying
there stock of stamps and cards about
with them in their pockets and selling
to people whenever the opportunity
presents itself. In this manner they
can talk to their friends, explaining
the thrift stamps, and then start
them on the spot or their thrift saw
ing by selling them a card and one
or more stamps at the time.
This is an excellent plan for patrio-
tically inclined citizens to do a great
and lasting good to their country as
we'll as the people they start saving.
Every nation in the state should
have one or more agents in it, also
should each and every lodge. The
small sum of $40 would start an agent
with a good stock of thrift cards and
thrift stamps, and $4,000 added would
supply a stock of war savings certi-
ficates and stamps. This money can
be turned over and over again each
time the stock is sold out. In fact,
the agent can replenish his stock from
the local postoffice or bank at any
time. Many banks will allow their
customers to take out stamps and
cards and sell them to bring the mon
ey in every day or two.
1t should be remembered that all
agent banks and other agents hand
ling thrift stamps are doing so to
help their country, and none Of them
from the biggest to the smallest re-
ceive any remuneration.
No longer may anyone say that
they would like to help their country
if they had a chance. Here is your
chance, become a personal agent.
