The Lambertville Victory Loan
Campaign.

| ana CRITICAL thing is: VIII each either
of Lambertville realize that he must
invest to his absolute limit to show
his gratitude to the army and navy
that have defended us, and to help
make his just payment for the
Victory that is worth this price.
This week is the House-to- House
Canvass Week, and 1923 men are work
ing enthusiastically to put Lambert
vile over the top. Every person il
the whole District will be visited, anc
all are asked to deal very courteously
with the Canvassers, and to subscribe
their very best. A report of each
District will posted every day in our
Post-office, in our two Banks, and in
all the towns working for our quota
See who stands at the head of the
list, each day.
Few people have responded to the
earnest request to hang out flags and
bunting. Few people have yet put out
the posters printed in Lambertville es-
| pecially for the purpose. 1t is a very
little thing to do, and all should be
willing to respond promptly to this
! third appeal. The city block that has
the most posters up by the end of the
week in proportion to the number of
houses will receive special distinc-
ton in corner decoration.
| Handsome colored posters have
come and have been distributed by Mr.
Brett and Mr.. Eye to all stores and
offices, liberal quantities being given
and still reserved for stores that wish
to participate in the popular voting
contest for best decorated show win

ballot for this purpose to each SUBJ
scriber, who may use it himself or
give it to any one else. The ballot
box, made by Mr.. Van Solver is in the
window of the Lambertville Post
office.
