Great quantities are used to protect overseas shipments of food stuffs, medical supplies and military equipment for our armed forces, and as war needs come first, it is estimated that during the next few months only about half as many paper bags and half as much wrapping paper as we used during the same period last year will* be available here at home. Every householder and every retail store in the United States will be affected. Here is the way customers can help stretch the available supply. 1. Take with you, and use and re-use, your own shopping bags, either paper or textile. 2. Accept without wrapping all articles in boxes, glass jars, tin cans or o|her manufacturer’s packaging that can safely be car ried without additional protection. 3. Do not ask for a bag within a bag, extra stuffing, carry-out boxes, etc. 4. Save every bit of unusable tvaste paper and turn it in to the salvage collection depot of your community. The War Production Board urges retailers to use wrapping materials only for protection, not for appearance, to use the smallest amount possible for each customer, to see that each bag carries its full load, to re-use wrapping materials in making an exchange, and to carry on intensive training among his own employees to make this conservation program effective within his own store. One new bag or piece'of wrapping paper must do the work which was done by three or four before this country went to war. We can help relieve the paper shortage ff each of us discourages every unnecessary use of paper in packaging and wrapping, gets as much use as he possibly can out of each piece of paper, and then saves it for the waste paper collection. /' -•>& n' ■ ■ %mwm i m I I Ladies and Gentlemen!
