March Bond
Quota Set
at $4,000

Macomb County retailers
war bond and stamp quota for
March is $72,000.00, it was an
nounced today by c. Harry NAL
bin, County Retail Chairman.
Estate officials of the Michf-
gan Retailers War Savings
Committee expect war bond and
stamp sales in March to continue
at a normal pace, in spite of in
come tax payments" Malbin
said.
"A letter just received from
j. B. Webber, Jr., State Retail
Chairman, says: Before jan
uary, conversation had it that
the Victory Tax would result in
lower bond and stamp sales.
What happened? Nationally,
81, 24O, 100000 worth of war
bonds were sold in January -
the biggest month yet! And in
Michigan, $43,372,197 worth
were sold, against $50, 099 900 in
December. Michigan retailers
sold one-sixth of December
total and probably one-eighth of
the January total, when all re-
ports are in.
"'I have a hunch we will all
be surprised at total March sales
of war bonds and stamps in
Michigan when the figures are
compiled. Certainly, more and
more people are war bond
conscious than ever before.
Hardly a person exists who
doesn't have a brother, son,
husband, cousin, sweetheart or
some relative or close friend in
the armed services. It's to bring
those boys back home that we
retailers are selling war bonds
and stamps.
Total bond and stamp sales
by retailers in Michigan for the
seven months ending January
81 were almost $39,000,000,
probably the outstanding job
accomplished by the retailers of
