WHAT ABOUT
SAVINGS STAMPS?

~
every bank and large business con
cern in this state urging the use Of
War Savings Stamps in Christmas
giving. This letter, which is gen
eral appeal for activity in War Saw
ings Stamps sales from now until the
end of the year, follows:
''The cash sales in War Savings
Stamps to date for New Mexico are
but one million seven hundred thou
sand dollars, out of total quota of
seven million dollars.
81 wish particularly at this time to
appeal not only to your pride in our
state, but to your national patriotism
as well, to assist in every way posi-
BILE in augmenting these cash sales.
believe one of the best means of in
creasing sales will be found in giving
the usual Christmas gratuities-in War
Savings Stamps rather than in cash,
of the large corporate and private
business interests in the state to un-
dertake that method of Christmas dis
tribution. Will you be kind enough
not only to inaugurate this plan in
your own business, but to request
your patrons of larger means to fol-
low it out also.
"Our state has made it's full quota
of funds in other forms of war work,
and | believe that conscientious eff
fort on the part of the business men
in this state will show very salts
factory result in the National War
Savings campaign. While it is true
that the war is virtually over, the ex-
pense of maintaining our army will be
bat slightly diminished and tremen-
dous budget of expenses must be pro-
vided for during at least the next
twelve months.
81 bespeak your earnest co-opera-
ton and wish to thank you for the
assistance I know you both can and
will give this patriotic matter"
