To the Citizens of MishaWaka

Accommodations for bOarderS, roOmeTS,
and for families who may wish to do light
housekeeping must be provided in MiSha-
Waka at once.
A large number of additional employees
are being brought here to work in the
various factories operated by this COM
pany largely upon work required in con-
nectiOn with the National Defense pro-
duCtiOn.
This work must be expedited in every
way possible and men who are now en-
ployed in industries not considered eS-
Sential to the winning of the war are de
SirouS of taking up work elsewhere. Many
of these men are willing and anxious to
come to MiShawaka if suitable acCOmmO-
datiOnS can be provided.
In other communities, patriotic people
are setting aside rooms for newcomers in
their cities and many are also providing
board with the rooms. They are realiz-
ing the importance of getting supplies to
the ShipyardS and other government de-
pots tO the extent that they are willing to
double up on their own rooms, thus al
lowing them to rent portions of their
homes to others for light housekeeping.
Others have found it both advisable
and profitable to erect small additiOnStO
their houses and thus make two houses
for temporary use.
In this emergency we invite the~cOOp-
Grafton of the people of MiShawaka toaS-
SSt in taking care of these people who
will be brought here, many of whom will
no doubt become permanent residents
and require permanent homes.
All those who feel that they can thus
periodically and to their own profit serve
the community and the Nation in this
hour of need are urged to write us fully
just what they are able to offer along
these lines
In your letter state name and address,
particulars of the rooms rent expected
and when ready for occupancy If YOU
feel that you would like to be of service
to your country and to your home town
in this manner and yet feel that there
may be additional expense in getting
your property ready for occupancy
which, you do not feel at this time as
sumo, tell us frankly in your letter the
circumstance and we may be able to as
assist YOU in the matter
Please think this over and let us hear
from you at once.
