THE DAILY BRITISH WHIG, TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 13, 1917. PAGE ELEVEN ET ---- r Don't Say-- "Call Again." Yesterday an army 'of men started out to sell Victory Bonds. For the next three weeks theirs will be a colos- sal task. From: Cape Breton to the Yukon, they will try to call at every city home, every farm home, and every office, factory, and business institution to ask people to buy Victory Bonds. Conceive, if you can, the magnitude of their work; the hard labour it involves, and the high necessity for it. Then, realizing all these things, do your utmost to make their task easier. Decide now to buy. | Decide the amount you will buy. Be ready to sign your application when the salesman calls. You should and will buy Victory Bonds, but, don' t--please don' t--ask the salesman to call again. The worker's time is limited, He has hundreds of calls to make; and although there is an army of workers, each one has-a large field to cover. Don't say you're going to hold your application for someone else, because each worker is limited to his own district. The salesman will not accept money. The cation blank includes a form of cheque, - to the Minister of Finance, which you can draw upon your bank; or, if you have not a batik account, there is a form of undertaking which you can use. » TN
