The basis principle of salvage and shop work is
that many articles and materials OF value what
ever in the small quantities which they
thrown out by individuals may be collected and sold
TO advantage in large quantities The tinfoi coec-
ton is item.
The bureau has taken for its slogan "one-third of
a cent day" reminding the country that if each
person in the United States saved material worth
even little that. the Red Cross would have,
from this alone, practically S125,OO0.O0O

The expenses Of operation so far have been kept

merchants in any way. The bureau makes
quests for funds.
Not only does the work Of this bureau supply
increasing income for relief work but it also serves
