Every limn, woniiin and child in tin's city can help Irccj) one of our boys''
.it tin; front supplied with ciiriirets and tobacco by .setting aside one cent a day',
for each working day. M
Just think what this little sum will do! For 25 (Hints wo will enter yourj
name on our Tobacco Fund list und will send 45 cents worth o smoking to
bacco and cigarets to our boys in Franco, jn the kit will be n postal card"?
stamped and addicssed to you, and on the kit will be a raiuest to the soldier
asking him to write a message to you on the postal and mail it. 2
The I fed Yoss takes charge of these kits of smoking material and dis-
tributes them; the French government sends back the postal bearing ;i onc-
cent United (States stamp and admits the tobacco fi 'c of duty.
Surely if as busy an organization s the Red Cross So'-ietv and as pro?
occupied officials as those of the French government will o ;. things
see that our soldiers get a chance to smoke, it isn't asking niiicii to ask ji.ii"
to set aside one cent a day for the purpose.
Send in your contributions of any .-..in.ant 25 cents, $1.00, .5.00, or more.!
For every 25 cents that you give, a separate postal bearing your name goes?
to the front. 1
Here's 45 cents worth of tobacco which is sent for your
quarter:
A package of Tuxedo tobacco and four books of cigaret papers.
Three pouches of Bull Durham Tobacco and three books of
papers.
Two packages of Lucky Strike cigarets, twenty cigarets in
each package.
A return postal card addressed to the contributor on which '
the soldier will pen his appreciation and gratitude for the gift.
