POLITE SOLICITORS
STARTING CAMPAIGN

With the close of the war. the gen.
eral public-moreespecially those of
the business district-are again con-
fronted with one class OF callers
from which they were exempt while
the war was on-the' beggar or gen.
.leman solicitor. who presents q card
or list and stands with Difference and
respect. not to say assurance, until
you read the LEGEND and then hand
out the required change. By this
method he is relieved OF even the
slight labor Of telling his woeful tale.
AS result of the activity OF this
gentry. the casual charity giver be-
comes somewhat suspicious of these
solicitors, feeling that they are pro-
fessional beEcars who were hiding
while the war was on for fear of in
yestigation and possibly being turned
over TO exemption boards and being
put to useful work. The majority
of these cases probably would bear
very little investigation.
