Ernest J. Krsutgen, Chicago post
master, Qeft) explains to George
Mccarthy, foreman in charge of
foreign mail, how packages should
be wrapped and addressed to get
favored delivery service to men in
the armed forces overseas.
to retailers and army and navy post
exchanges.
Reasons given for the expected in
crease in the number of gifts sent
this year overseas arc:
l. The moved-up official mailing
date, September Is to October IS,
extended to November l, for those
in the navy, marine corps and coast
guard, will stimulate early shopping,
and the five pound limitation on gift
packages means more will be sent
q More stores have installed spe-
cial gift counters or departments
which means more display, adver-
Using, and sales.
3. The home folks are now better
advised on the gift preferences of
servicemen and women, and know
more specifically where they are sta
toned, hence can make their selec-
tons more intelligently.
4. The overseas forces, operating
on more fronts, and facing more
varied climatic and geographical
conditions, become eligible for a
wider variety of gifts.
The tendency to send more gifts
to those furthest from home also
favors increased sales. While short.
ages at home are developing in such
items as watches, leather novelties
and jewelry, it is thought heavier
Browning chief. [volume] (Browning, Mont.) 1941-1953, 1943-10-15
More Gifts for Overseas Servicemen

purchases of more available items
will more than offset these.
The number of gifts to come from
service personnel abroad to relatives
and friends at home is expected to
be larger per capita because manu-
facturers and distributors, who sell
to army and navy post exchanges,
particularly in the Mediterranean
area, already report rising sales to
servicemen and women. More post
exchanges, greater opportunity af-
forded servicemen to buy direct
from the natives, who also sell to
PIX, is a factor now boosting sales.
Other sales stimulants are that over
seas Servicemen and women, in
high spirits themselves, are not so
sure about the morale of the home
folk and seek to bolster it by gifts.
Flusher with cash, and conscious of
accumulated favors from home, the
overseas contingent find themselves
in an ideal spot to reciprocate.
Among American made gift items
most popular at overseas post ex-
changes are pins, clips, earrings,
vanity cases, many bearing the in
sigma of the various branches of the
service. Ornate pillow tops and
handkerchiefs, which embody deli
cately worded sentiments, come to
the aid of thousands of less articu-
late servicemen. Such items are
prime favorites overseas as well as
at post exchanges at home.
Necklaces, embroideries, pipes,
laces, opal and topaz jewelry, met
al and leather handicraft of Latin
and Oriental origin, is also in high
favor. Watches, one of the top pref
erences among all in the service,
are relatively easy to get in the Med
iterranean area, since many of them
come direct from Switzerland.
The gifts servicemen may expect
from the home folks parallel some
what those sent last year, although
there will be a wider selection to
choose from. Furlough bags, small
carry-all and sewing kits, duffle
bags, wallets, religious medals, iden-
LITIGATION bracelets, photo cases, pen
and pencil sets, shaving equipment,
insignia pieces, and of course ciga-
rettes, are high on the preference
list of servlcemen.
Money belts are not expected to
be as popular this year as last,
while watertight pocket-size holders
| for miscellaneous personal things
are in high vogue. Pocketsized
games such as checkers, cribbage,
gin rummy, backgammon and acey
ducey are similarly popular.
While these gift items have gen.
eral popularity among the forces
overseas as well as at home, a vari-
ETY. of gift preferences is develop
ing. A large number on the Pacific
front, for instance, show partially
to such articles as knives, sun
glasses and anti-sun and bug lotions.
The growing number of service
women is debating the installation
of women departments in post ex-
changes. Heavy orders for toilet
ries, apparel items, and the more
esthetic type of gifts are reported.
Browning chief. [volume] (Browning, Mont.) 1941-1953, 1943-10-15

Based on increasing demand for
gift items it is estimated that over
seas servicemen and women will re-
ceive 20 per cent more Christmas
presents per capita this year than
last, and the home folks may ex-
pect an even larger percentage of
reciprocal gifts, mostly of the luxury
and sentimental type. This forecast
was made by John c. Goodall, gen.
eral manager of the Merchandise
Mart, Chicago, following a checkup
among gift item manufacturers and
distributors, including those who sell
