Having secured somewhere the Army's uniform, they were able to mislead the pub lic. In order to 'protect the public from further impostors of this king the Salvation Army has sup plied its accredited workers with a printed solicitor's card, where in is written the name of the worker. This card also definitely defines the territory in which said worker is authorized to solicit for funds and is signed by Albert E. Baynton, the divisional command er for Oregon and southern Idaho. Brigadier Baynton respectfully requests the public to call for soli citor's card whenever and wher ever approached by a Salvation Army worker. Should someone ask for money in the name of the Army who is not supplied with a card, the fact should be reported at once.
