ties in this important work: for these
reports show that the per capita sales
In the State amount only TO ninety
nine ccnte.
One OF the greatest disnppoint mcnts
TO Richmond workers Ia tho fact that
the capital city ranks far down on the
list. Although the largest 6mount OF
stamps has been sold there. the city
has the greater number OF people and
the sales havo in no way mounted up
AS 1t WAS believed they would. How.
evor. the present standing has NOT
tended to cause loss OF heart on the
part OF the Director or to result In
lcssened efforts. Comparison OF his
sales with those OF other cities har
shown the absolute necessity for the
most conserted effort, and the commit.
tee has already gotten seriously TO
work TO boost tho salss before tho
next report.
