DELIVERY OF WAR BONDS THRU PAYROLLS
There are about 3,000 employees of
the Marshall Field organization buying
war bonds through the payroll allot
ment plan. This entails a great deal
of additional work in the aecounting
department. This department is ar
ranging to purchase these bonds for
the employees once a month—about the
I5th of the month. By this method
there will be some delay between the
time enough money is collected to buy
the bond and the delivery to the work
er. To purchase these bonds weekly
as they are paid for would put a great
deal more work on the accounting de
partment, and it is hoped that this
slight delay will be satisfactory' to all
of the bond purchasers.
