lea is for retailers to use their prem
Uses to sell war bonds" asserted P.

S10,5O0 which will be used to pur-
chase war bonds as prizes.
There are II categories with 10

in each state compete for sectional
prizes-the sections are made up of
the Federal Reserve districts. The 10

have large display windows. How
ever, the displays can either be in
terror, exterior, or windows. The only
requisite is that the display must con-
tain a 500 War Bond or facsimile.

material for the displays. Those
