Of War Stamps. Bonds
Macomb County's organiza-
ton for the sale of War Savings
Stamps and Bonds through re-
tailers has been completed, ac-
cording to word from Oscar
Weber, vice-president and gen.
eral manager of the j. L. Hud-
son Company, Detroit, who is
State Chairman of the Michigan
Retailers War Savings Commit
tee.
Under County Retail Chair
man Harry Malbin, of Mount
Clemens, countrywide organ
ization has been carefully built,
with a Retail Chairman in every
town, and local Auditor whose
function is to collect a monthly
report from every retailer on
his War Savings Stamp and
Bond sales. All sales are then
reported to the State Commit
tee, which makes a monthly re-
port to the Treasury Depart
ment on how retailers of Michi-
gan have performed against
their quota for the preceding
month.
The complete organization for
Macomb County, as announced
by Webber, is as follows:

PERMANENT SETUP
In commenting upon this or
ganization, Harry Malbin, Coun-
ty Retail Chairman, stated:
This is a permanent organiza-
ton which will carry through
for the duration. Our job Is to
encourage our customers to in
vest in War Savings Stamps and
Bonds to the limit of their abili-
ty. Not only will this help to
provide the necessary money
for getting war materials to our
boys at the front, but it pro-
vides people with a cushion for
the readjustment period after
the war. 1t is real patriotic
duty for every retailer to do his
share in this job assigned to us,
of getting people in Michigan
to invest $48,000,OOO in War
Savings Stamps and Bonds
through the retailers with whom
they do business, between now
and next May /. We are not ask
ing anyone to give anything.
Every dollar they invest comes
back with interest at a time
when that money will be need
ed more than it is now.
The retailers of Macomb
County have cooperated in fine
fashion, but we need the sup
port of every merchant to &C
complish the quota which has
bee:' set for this County. I am
confident that we can make it,
with some to spare. Unless we
do, it is entirely possible that
some form of forced saving plan
may be forthcoming, so we
must do everything possible to
get people to voluntarily and
willingly invest all the money
they can in these gilt-edge Sc
curities."
Any retailer in Macomb Coun.
ty who has not received details
about the official program
which the State Committee has
developed under Mr.. Webber's
direction, is urged to contact his
local Retail Chairman for full
information. Retailers enlisted
in the program are displaying
the special window trim, con-
sisting of large shield, Victory
"V", and other decorative ma
terials, developed by the State
Committee and av ala b l e
through County and local Re-
tail chairmen.
