Strong ss with THRIFT STAMPS SALES HELP EQUIP SOLDIERS | Thirty-Eight War Savings Stamps Will Fit Out One Sammy For The Field. ' Tt costs just $156.71 to equip an Am- erican soldier to take the field. By this is meant merely to buy the clothes he waears and the arms he carries, accordi to figures compiled in the office of the state director. By the time he is trained, and fed for six months before being sent across the water, the costs mount up to thousands of dollars for each man. Every man, every woman and every child who buys thrift stamps and war savings stamps is helping to equip those soldiers for the field. If ¥ou are saving and serving by aiding in this great campaign, vou are taking and active part in defending vour country from the Kaiser’s hordes. If you have hought 3§ war sevines | stamps at $4.12 each, and one thrift stamp at 25 cents. you have eguipped a soldier completely. If you have bought one thrift stamp you have paid for one waist belt, or | one hat cord, two pairs of shoe laces and four indentification tags. If you have bought two thrift stamps you have paid for omne trench (ool with which the soldier may dig him- self in after sforming the enemy's lines, or one shelter tent pole and five shelter tent pins. If you have bought three thirft stamps you have proyided some sold- ter with a, pair of woolen gloves. If your investment totals four -thrift stamps you have paid for one bed- sack and the government has 11 cents left, over. The price of .four thrift stamps will provide the soidier with his canvas leggings. i Five thrift stamps will buy one bay- onet scabbard. Six thrift stamps will undersh: pay for the irt , or ‘his | the soldier's winter undershirt. or the woolen stockings. Seven thrift stamps will buy him | his service hat. i ht thrift stamps will leave 15] cents lacking to pay for one bavonet.! Twelve thrift stamps will pay for| the necessary shelter tent or for one | steel helmet. i You will ‘have to buy 14 thrift; stamps for the poncho that keeps the soldier dry as he stands long hours in the rain in the trenches. Fifteen thrift stamps I for | pay undergarments that keep the nether extremities warm this kind of weather. | One war savings stamp will pay for his cartridge belt. One war savings stamp and four | thrift stamps will pay for the 100 rifie cartridges with which he starts into battle. Two war savings stamps will buy his woolen shirts or his O. D. breech- es. Three war savings stamps will buy two pairs of shoes or savings stamps cover the | cost of his O. D. coats or his woolen blankets. If you' have bought ‘five war savings | stamps vou have paid for his rifle RESALES AND DOUBLE PROFITS ARE FORBIDDEN. Federal Food Administration lssues Explanation of General Rule. | i | Resales within the trade, which usu- ally mean two profits - before a food commodity reaches the consumer. have been forbidden for months by the United States food administration, but the present situation, in which many wholesalers, short on certain of the| approved wheat substitutes, wish to| buy from. another wholesaler who is long on this foodstuff, prompted the federal food administration for Con- necticut to isstie an - explanation of this general rule 6 of the wholesale and retail groceries division of the food administration. The rule applies espe- cially to non-perishables and it must not be violated simply because one wholesaler may buy from another a| certain "lot of goods which he could! not get as cheap direct from the man- | ufacturer. This bargain feature no extenuation because the food a ministration holds that the particular lot of goods, changing hands between the wholesalers, would get to ‘the ulti- mate consuiner just that much cheaper if there were not two middlemen's profits attached to it. The food administration will not ordinarily make objection im a - case where the one permissible wholesale profit on a. particular lot of goods ‘is divided and shared by two .or more whotesalers. The food administration will not make exceptions {o the rule merely replenish his supply from some other dealer in the same trade who neYy have a urpius. The fact that a deal- own trade does net; in itsel! constitute reasonable ion for < resales| which would place ot - ~on the Jot of ‘miods. i gdlity ‘of the resale itself. e SHOWING THE LATEST ADAPTATIONS IN Suits, Coats, Dresses, Skirts and Waists YOU ARE CORDIALLY INVITED TO ATTEND —— e such a wholesaler could sell' a partic- ular lot of goods to tue retailer at a lower price,if he could.benefit by the carioad rate from - the manufacturer to some large wholesaler at-a point| near him. 'm such instances there| may be reasonabie justification for a resale within tane same trade but no general exception of ihis sort has been made. The controlling peint is-that one lot of goods should not hear more than one wholesale 'profit or more than| one retail: profit, and :that resales, cer- tainly of those’ commodities covered by the coai basis rules, shonld be made only under'the control of the federal food administrator or his duly awthor- ized representative As to hrokerage, the lezality of a commission or brokerage charge in the case of any resale where the broker or commission merchant actually per- forms a service depends upon the le- It the re- sale should be permitted, then a rea- sonable brokerage or. commission s allowed to a broker or commission merchant who actually: performs the hrokerage service in ‘the particular case.
