Letters to Bundles for Britain
tell of the safe arrival of ship-
ments In England and paint touch-
ing pictures of the comforts knit-
ted goods and warm clothing pro-
vide for service men and bombed-
out civilians.
Thank Heayen For ‘‘Bundles"
“In London they are thanking
heaven tof Bundles for- Britain,
which are going direct to the
naked and homeless, people there.”
Valentine Ackland, English poet,
writes. “A girl told me of a fam-
ily of ten, who'd lost everything
and were In their night clothes,
without money, food, clothes—
even without shoes. They went to
the centre where bundles were be-
ing given out and each got a bun-
dle. Bundles for Britain has been
a salvation to the people In Lon-
don.”
A case sent by Bunales for Bri-
tain to the Depot for Knitted Gar-
ments for the Royal Navy, London,
arrived with a piece of a German
shdll In It, while another was part
empty aS a result of “enemy ac-
tion.”
Grateful For Wonderful Help
“We are immensely grateful for
all this wonderful help which Is
being given by your organisation,”
the secretary of the depot writes.
- similar letters of acknowledg-
ment have come from the Soldier’s,
Sailor's k Airmen’s Families Asso-
ciation, and the Royal Air Force
’Comforts Committee.
“I had eight of your canteens in
different parts of (a certain city).
They did magnlflcently,” Mrs. Ron-
ald Tree from London says In her
letter. “Your Interest and gene-
rosity would have been amply re-
paid by the appreciation of those
people to whom we were able to
give their first hot drink or hot
meal in forty-eight hours. They
stood amidst the ruins of their
homes, full of courage and cheer-
fulness. Tired women from the
crowds offered to help us with the
washing up and serving. The
town was crowded with exhausted
firemen and soldiers clearing the
debris.
Canteens A God Send
“Where people slept, I don't
know, with houses gone and shel-
ters flooded. As there was neither
light, gas, heat or water, you can
imagine how welcome the canteens
were to these thirsty people. I do
hope you realise how appreciated
American generosity Is by people
over here.”
‘‘It Is magnificent the gifts you
are sending over to our homeless
people,” writes Mrs. E. A. Rose of
the Pembridge Depot, London. “If
you can, put in a word that the
clothes should be as warm as pos-
sible. The poor souls have only
the one outfit given them. Often
the outfit Is very scanty and It Is
essential that what they get should
be thick and warm.”
Despite the appearance of other advertising media, the
newspaper remains the most productive channel whereby
industry can reach the buying public—and industry is
fully aware of that fact.
i
A recent survey well illustrates the sustained popu-
larity of newspapers among advertisers.* The survey was
made by four national associations serving chain stores,
and covered l 38 representative systems operating more
well in excess of $3,000,000.
than 33,000 stores, coast-to-coast, and having annual sales
During the typical year covered by the survey, these
companies spent more than $55,000,000 for advertising,
an average of $1,754 per store. Almost 58 per cent of the
money was spent with newspapers. A little less than i 0
per cent was spent on handbills and similar printed mat-
ter, much of which was produced in local newspaper
plants. Only 4.30 per cent was spent for radio with the
balance made up of expenditures or miscellaneous media.
Breaking the figures down, it was found that drug
chains spent 82.24 per cent of their advertising dollar with
newspapers, grocery chains spent 56.53 per cent and gen-
eral merchandise and variety chains spent 51.35 per cent.
That is a testimonial to the character of the American
press. No institution holds a higher place in the esteem of
the American people. This is particularly true of the news-
papers serving the smaller towns of the country, which are
read from “cover to cover” by their subscribers—news, lo-
cals, advertisements, and all.—Charlotte (N.C.) Observer

Lost Her Double Chin
Lost Her Sluggishness
Gained a More Shapely Figure
and the Increase in Physical Vigor
and Vivaciousness Which So Often
Comes With Excess Fat Reduction.
Thousands of women are getting
fat and losing their appeal just be-
cause they do not know what to do.
Why not be smart — do what
thousands of women have done to
get off pounds of unwanted fat.
Take a half teaspoonful of Kruschen
in a glass of hot water first thing
every morning to gently activate
liver, bowels and kidneys—cut down
your caloric intake—eat wisely and
satisfyingly—there need never be a
hungry momentl
Keep this plan up for 30 days.
Then weigh yourself and see if You
haven’t lost pounds of ugly fat.
Just see if this doesn’t prove to be
the surprise of your life and make
you feel like shSuting the good news
to other fat people. And best of all
a jar of Kru&chen that will last you
for 4 weeks costs but little. If not
joyfully satisfied—money back.
