GREENWOOD, S. C.
Washington, D. C. — Defense
Savings Stamps soon will be on
sale in retail stores throughout
the country.
Secretary Morgenthau announ
ced the extension of Defense Sav

Treasury Department Tuesday,
August 12, when executives of
associations representing more
than a million stores pledged im
mediate participation of their
members in the Defense Savings
Program. Stamps will go on sale
very shortly in department stores,
grocery, drug, variety, furniture,
hardware, and all other types of
retail outlets.
At the meeting the retailers en
dorsed full participation in “Re
tailers for Defense” Week, Sep
tember 15 to 20, when the stores
of every state will concentrate
their efforts to enlist customers to
buy Defense Savings Stamps. Be
fore that time, most stores from
coast to coast are expected to
have Defense^ Stamps on sale.
The leaders of the retailers
associations met with Secretary
Morgenthau and Treasury offi
cials to project the plan for ini
Jtiating the nation-wide effort
The Secretary expressed his ap-
tended by the retail organizations
saying:
“The Defense Savings Program
is gaining momentum every day
The splendid spirit shown by the
retailers of the nation in putting
their associations behind the sale
of Defense Savings Stamps is sure
to have a stimulating effect in
advancing the whole Program. It
is another indication of the Amer
ican determination to proceed
wholeheartedly toward success in
our National Defense effort.
“The thanks of the Treasury
and of the Government are due
the leaders of| retail industry and
to their member stores all over
the nation for the enthusiasm
with which they are entering into
the plans for ‘Retailers for De-
j fense’ Week, and for the contin
uous activity pledged in the sale
of Defense Savings Stamps.”
Stamps will be sold in the re
tail stores at convenient points,
the representatives of the retail
associations explained. Defense
Savings posters will be displayed,
and store clerks will help to inter

The retail executives said they
had decided on the merchandising

following the success of the sale
of Stamps in the State of Michi
gan. On July 10, the sale of
stamps was started in Michigan
retail stores to test the effective
ness of the plan. More than 20,-
C00 Michigan merchants already
are selling Defense Stamps and
the retail trade leaders reported
they looked for double that num

Field Activities, Defense Bonds
and Stamps, who also attended
the meeting, reported that 10.000
