Help keep deliveries down. Have all gift packages to be sent by mail or express on their way by December 5. All the fore going are approved by the Council of National Defense. Our Paris-or London-to-the-Fronl Service enables those who wish to send packages to the boys overseas to make selections here now and have the articles forwarded by our representatives in Paris and London to be delivered in time for Christmas This service is quite distinct from that by which packages are sent through the Eed Cross, which latter allows only ONE package to be sent and that only by the holder of a Christmas Parcel Label (usually next of kin). We make no profit and do not guarantee delivery, but every precaution is taken. Price lists at Army & Navy Shop, Main Floor. Abandonment of Alder Loop Is - Protested.
