Ready-Made Organization The American Legion Which now numbers more than a half million veterans of this war in its record-breaking 1945 membership of more 'than 1,600,000 presents a rare opportunity for our returning fighting men and women. They can take over this readymade organization and get a quarter of a century’s jump ahead of where the veterans of the last war started when they came home from war. It took the American Legion that quarter of a century to get where it is today—with 13,000 posts, $100,000,000 in assets, and a membership that embraces the leaders of all walks of life, from the White House to the village council.

The history of veterans’ organization discloses that the first 15 years are the hardest. The G.A.R. didn’t reach its full stride until 20 years after it was organized. The Legion didn’t get going in a big way until the mid-thirties, 15 years or more after it was founded. There are already some 150 World War 'll organizations in existence, and not one of them at this writing is- showing much promise. Most of them exist mostly to promote the interests of the promoters. Some of them are plain rackets. In the American Legion the fighting men and women of this war can have an all-powerful organization at a time when they need it most—when they first come home. In it, too, they can be assured of safety from exploitation. The American Legion has

gone all-out for them; got the G. I. Bill of Rights enacted for them, and has placed its vast service organization at their beck and call. And now the American Legion offers the veterans of this War its great going concern to be taken over lock, stock and barrel. It’s a great opportunity, because the Legion is a precious heritage, well worthy of the sacrifices and valor of the men and women who fought and won World War 11. Since the cessation of hostilities all who remain in service are also eligible to Legion membership. A splendid Christmas gift for your boy or girl would be a Legion membership card from dad and mother. Your inquiry solicited by G. L. Sauer, membership chairman, 1632 Christopher Lane, Bel. 0137-W.
