Tha War Finance dirision at Washington has communicated with all commit tee chalrmeB and. stating “If wa are to meat our quota in the Fifth War LAan. it will be neoaasary to develop a more aggraaalve activity on the part of retailers, using them not only as a selling organisation, but ♦^^g advantage of an their facilitiee tor advertising, display and the promotion of community activities. As a first step in this program letters are going to the heads of big stores, chains and nations! associations.
