Funds for the Salvation Army are
not raised by personal solicitation of
its active members, but thru organi-
cations in each county known as Ad-
visory Boards. If there are those
who are soliciting for the Salvation
Army in person and not known in the
vicinity they are to be considered i'm
posters.
The Salvation Army does great
work and a work which no other or
ganization can do, and many times a
work which no other organization
would do. In commencing the Army
work to the people Governor Oliver
H. Shoup has issued the following
letter:
To the Citizens of Colorado:
Before the World War the Saliva
tion Army endeared itself to the
American people by its unostenta-
tious but devoted service to those in
humber walks of life. Its opportu-
mites in the European struggle were
accepted and performed in such dra-
matte fashion that today the Army is
one of the principal institutions of
our national life. Those who saw
first hand its work at the front can
never forget the debt they owe t. its
devoted members and those who re-
manned at LONE must be equally
grateful.
Since the wcr the Salvation Army
has embarked upon program more
pretenticu than ever before. In
Colorado an important service is con-
templated in nearly every city and
town. The needs of each community
have becn studied end, without du-
-plication and in full cooperation with
other welfare. organizations, it will
aim to fulfill in the highest degree
it's obligations of service.
Funds. of course. are rceded and
must be provided by the people of the
State. l earnestly urge careful
consideration of the budget OF the
Salvation Army and generous sup
port of its requirements.
BY helping the Salvation Army you
help Colorado.
Yours very. truly,
o. H. SHOUP. Governor.
