Factories To Help.

The National War-Savings Committee at Washington has made a very important announcement. It is the desire to have sales stations organized in addition to the regular sales agencies already in process of organization. These stations are to be established on the basis of one for every one hundred population. The purpose is to make the places for purchasing Thrift Stamps so numerous that there can be no possible excuse for anyone not purchasing Thrift Stamps for the reason that no place is available. : In this connection manufacturing plants can be of inestimable assistance. The chairman of each county wifi furnish the manufacturing plants placards announcing that, each plant is a sales station. This placard should be placed in a conspicuous place and a supply of Thrift Stamps should be purchased from the local postoffice or bank and held available for employes who wish to make purchase! The stamps may be purchased outright and when they are sold the money mSy be used to purchase further supplies of stamps, and so on throughout the season. The sale of Thirst Stamps is becoming so popular that in a short time it will be a rate thing to find anyone, however humble, wjio does not own a Thrift Card. The point that is being emphasized at this time is that everyone know the plan under which he may purchase stamps, and the manufacturing plant is one of the best means of disseminating this information to a large number of persons. It is to be hoped that the manufacturing plants will lend their moral support and assistant to this campaign.
