This is a Direct Appeal from Uncle Sam to the Women of Richmond

Read! Then Determine to "Do Your Bit" Every Woman is Urged to Co-Operate

The women of Richmond, like the other cities and towns throughout the country have responded nobly and loyally to the request of the Economy Board of the Council of National Defense that they do their share to eliminate waste. In "Man-Power" hundred of thousands of men are leaving their jobs to go to the front, we must co keep it." Waste in materials, such as gasoline and oil, which is so badly needed to energize our destroyers, our submarines and our aeroplanes. Garry it home and save gasoline and oil, and thus stop needless deliveries and return of merchaneise. We believe every woman is patriotic and wants to help, once she understands the situation and the introduction of the economies as outlined by the National Board of Defense. Here is what you are asked to do FIRST When shopping, do not leave the Store empty-handed. Carry parcel with you to the extent of your ability. Help to make this "the fashion." SECOND When you have goods to return, do not leave home empty-handed. If all customers would carry small parcels for exchange, the saving of time in our delivery department would amount to thousand of hours annually. THIRD Do not buy merchandise until you are fairly sure you are going to keepit. Make careful selection a habit. A large percentage of ail the work done by stores is wasted in handeling goods which are returned and which must be sold over again. FOURTH Avoid C O. D. purchases whenever possible, cash is usually just as easy, and saves labor. 4 ... .
