These agencies will handle the stamps and sell them to the public. Tt will be seen that New Britain will never be so completely organized as when this Thrift Stamp campaign gets under way. Owing to the ilin of Lewis Stephenson, the advertising manager, there has been a slight delay in get- ting the War Savings campaign start- ed, as it was the desire of Mr. Gil- patric to start the advertising work with the opening of the campaign. Mr. Stephenson’s illn therefore caused the delay, but it is expected that everything will be launched in the next few days. Everyone is en- thusiastic and waiting to take hold and push the Thrift Stamps. Not a single rebuff has the committee met with, once the plan has been ex- plained, but on the other hand thcre is the most enthusiastic co-operation on every side. The Boy Scouts. who did such splendid work for the Red Cross, are going to make a canvass of every | home and leave advertising material and get the first order through the free postal card. Uncle Sam’s agent, | the letter carrier, will bring the stamps around the next morning. Thus | every home in the ecity will be reached. The Scouts will also be or- ganized as selling agents to canvass from time to time the various homes and take more orders at the same time placing service flags in the windows | to show that the home is doing its share in Thrift Stamps. Anyone who does not want to wait can start in at once by getting the stamps at the banks or at the post office.
