YOU BUY THE BONDS TO ENABLE THESE COUNTY BOYS AND GIRLS TO CARRY ON

Above is another panel of Plymouth countyans in the service. Another panel will appear next Thursday, and with it The Globe-Post exhausts its supply of pictures of men and women in uniform. Some of the pictures have been in this office for some time, but arrangements have now been made to print pictures of those in the service without much delay. Bring or send them in to The Globe-Post, but make sure it is a good print. The average print, taken with a small camera, usually lacks the sharpness and does not make good copy. The Globe-Post photographic department will advise you if the print will reproduce properly. Pictures never leave the office, and can be called for after the picture appears in the paper. Please identify all prints.
