YOU May NOT NEED
The MONEY BUT
YOUR COUNTRY
NEEDS YOUR help

Right now thousands of workers - both men and
women - are needed to man the machines in our
war plants.
One man who has answered that appeal is Joseph
Singer, 22s North Main Street. He is the pro-
pretor of the millinery business bearing his name.
When the war got under way, he arranged for his
wife to take over the management Of the store and
presented himself for war job.
He insisted on a condition that couldn't be met He
didn't want any pay! 1t took some argument to con-
vince MIR. Singer that he couldn't work for nothing
but he still draws no money. He takes his entire
pay in War Bonds!
