We Were Lucky -.

Four years ago, embarked upon rehabilitation
program which included systematic replacement of
our machinery and equipment Today our plant and
distribution machinery is new, modern and in good
condition Most of our equipment is within the
past two years. In light of the present situation
priortes, huge defense plans rationing of tires
trucks and other equipment-we feel that were
most fortunate in planning did,
Present equipment we are told, MUST last for the
duration of the emergency. Most experts agree that
this war will be long war. and hard war This
means that machinery, trucks supplies ETC., must be
conserved to last just as long possible. or longer
Our planning must revolve around such things
as how to serve all customers efficiently and yet
drive fewer miles and take less time and less man
power to give that service. how to make bottles
do the same service job that 5 or 20 bottles have
been doing. how to make more of everything and
at the same time wear and tear on our equipment
Yes there are literally of little things that we
can do and may have to do before this mess is over
We believe that you consumers will have sympathet-
ic understanding for problem, and we must have
your help and cooperation

sold by the Metropolitan field force in the United States is approaching the 4 1-2 million dollar figure. The United States Treasury department is calling upon life insurance com- panies for special assistance in the sale of certain types of government bonds. We shall do our part in this. Among the efforts of our field-men, one of which we are very proud is the securing of 109,227 war bond pledges for total $11, ,134, ,000 in Greater New York city alone, during 10-day Minute Man drive,
 Government Bonds
 'In addition to the sale of war savings stamps, Metropolitan peo- pie in both the United States and Canada have purchased substantial amounts of government bonds for their own account. In, the Pacific coast head office the percentage of salary deductions to payroll has n|. been less than 10 per cent in any of the last four months. In the home office involving some 16,000 people, the proportion of compensation de- voted to the purchase of bonds re- gently reached 1006 per cent.
 "The government has recognized the distinct contribution on the well fare side made by the Metropoli- tan's nutrition campaign, through the company's nutrition motion pic ture and nutrition advertising de- veloped long before the outbreak of the war.
 For the better service of policy holders and the public and for closer collaboration with the officials of the War Department, the Company has set up at the home office unit known as War Service Insurance Bureau intended particularly to handle the life insurance problems of those in the armed services and of those who have been prevented by war conditions from maintaining normal contacts with the company or its representatives"
 After stressing the fact that life insurance protection is more vitally important not only in safeguarding and bolStering home morals, but in the part it plays in the govern ment's fight-and the peoples fight against initiation. MT. Lincoln's report conclude with the plea:
 "Let me again solicit the earnest and patriotic support of every person connected with the Metropolitan for whatever may be accomplished in the advancement of the war effort. We from the United States and from Canada together have opportunities to serve our respective governments in their determination to win through in the tragic war in which we are al concerned. Particularly. urge with the utmost earnestnesS that every Metropolitan man and woman in the United States shall align himself and herself in whole hearted support of our commander in-chief. the president of the United States, in his unquestioned determination to SC to 1t that trea- chery be avenged and that auto cratic domination of the peoples Of the world shall be stamped out"

 Some of the highlights of MT. Iincoln's report are:
