Manufacturers, merchants, profes- sional men and private individuals —all are required to spend less money. Strict economy must be observed by manufacturers and merchants in producing and selling goods, just as surely as by in-, dividuals in private expenditure. The Government needs vast sums of money for the successful prose- cution of the war.

We ask that when you are in the store, you shop as quickly as pos- sible in order that others will not be the public good kept waiting, and so cause conges- tion. This should be a permanent shopping habit to reduce the man power needed to run the store, as requested by the Government. By, shortening the time you take to shop, you help our people do more in a given time, and that helps us pay them better wages. We have done everything to make you as safe as possible when you are in the store, but we stand with Mayor Hanson and Dr. McBride. We think you, our customers, are better off if this and other stores remain open than if we close.
