UNCLE SAM WILL HUNT YOU A JOB

Every Postoffice is Now an Employment Bureau, Where Labor and Capital Meet. ,1 —^—* Few of our readers are, perhaps, aware that the United States government through the department of labor, has inaugurated as a part of the division of information a countrywide employment bureau. It is the belief of those connected with the work that it will go far toward improving business conditions in > tl\e United States. The United States has been divided into eighteen sections, or distribution zones, as they are called,'and in each irf these zones an employment office has been opened. These zones in nearly every case have been subdivided and branch offices opened. At these offices the employer who needs help of any kind, skilled or unskilled, be he farmer, merchant, manufacturer, or whatever his business, can secure what he wants without any more trouble or expense than the work of stating what he desires. Every postmaster in the United States is a representative of this employment bureau. At any postoffice will be found, on application, blanks for the use of employers in need of help and for the use of persons seek-

ing employment. These blanks, upon being handed to the postmaster, are transmitted by him, free of charge, to the proper zone offices, where both blanks are property registered, and proper help selected for the employer in need of help, either - from applicants residing in the city in which the office is located, or from the applications on file. If any reader of The Republican is now, or expects shortly to be in need of help of any description, it is suggested that the following coupon be filled out and mailed to the address given: " COUPON.
