• Red Cross Needs Those Bandages
Although the Red
Cross workers shown
here are but a small
part of the number
of girls and women
in Draper who are
giving their time and
effort to this fine
work, many more
workers are urgent
ly needed. The boys
in the battle areas
cannot wait for these
bandages; they need
them now! It means
so little to give a
part of your time to
something that can
mean life or death
to many young soldiers. Your own hands may prepare the bandage that goes on the wound of your owiTI^
husband. Can you afford to take the chance that this bandage may not reach him in time to save his hfe”
enough not to want to take that chance get in touch with the Red Cross Headquarters. Shown in picture left to

Send Smokes To Boys
Nothing makes the boys in service
happier than good old American cigar
ettes. They themselves have written
many times, saying that next to letters
from loved ones they want cigarettes.
Marshall Field & Co. employees ai-e
not at all backward in giving the boys
what they want. Several departments
have sent smokes to the men in battle
areas and more are being sent all the
time. The latest shipment, to our
knowledge, is the 20,000 sent by Cen
tral Warehouse and the additional
50,000 sent by Preparatory department
of Rayon Mill.
On each package will be printed:
“Best wishes of (department name)
employees”. We are sure that when
the boys return to work at their old
jobs they will remember each and
every smoke sent them and will be
grateful to all who helped.

Sorry!
Our readers will be disappointed to
find that news from General Office and
Nantucket is left out this week. Since
the editor is doing some special work
we had to move up publication date
a little and material from these de
partments had not reached us at press
time. Sorry.

Let’s not lose a day’s work—the
boys in the fox holes are depending
on you.
