boys come home from war.

are in the jungles of New Guinea or
in the mountains of Italy, they have
kept in close touch with them
throughout the war period. Many
cor,corns have conducted numerous :
plant-wide campaigns soliciting j

written to soldiers, and sending <
..copies- of- tiv-'- h-'llri- ' ’~r \
The president of or.e firm took j
it upon himself to send personal t
CiUTf&nds gifts to each of his 1.500
employees iri service. Each service
man wras sent a package containing
two cartons of cigarettes, two tins
of peanut brittle, a box of candy, a
tube of shaving cream, tooth paste,
a box of razor blades, soap, a deck
of playing cards, bag of buttons and
a sewing kit.
