IN THE NATION'S 2ND WAR LOAN DRIVE
A JEEP Ready to Roll...for Every Name On Our Honor Roll!
That's the slogan of twelve hundred Younker employees for the next three weeks. A great mass-meeting was held last Wednesday morning to organize for this store's one hundred percent participation in this nation-wide campaign. Selling is our business. Enthusiasm is high.
Our plan is to sell enough War Bonds and Stamps to buy a JEEP for every name on our honor roll. A Jeep costs about $1000. 136 of our employees have gone from our store to enter the service. Our goal then is $136,000. Watch our 7th and Walnut Street corner window for daily posting of our progress in this drive.
It's a big job...ours and yours. It must be done quickly, thoroughly and successfully. We've all got to pitch in and help...buy and sell to reach the tremendous goal set for the nation. Younkers has installed special War Bond, Stamp and Corsage booths on nearly every floor for your convenience. Immediate delivery of War Bonds will be made.
