To aid in the drive, all local committees have been furnished with window stickers and 10 lapel la-pel buttons. Every firm having 10 per cent of its payroll going into bonds receives a certificate, and eevry worker who diverts 10 per cent of his wages or salary into bonds receives a window sticker and lapel button. ..... ... . |
