Gome On and Heln Ensign Sell a Radio! Ensign Williams -At the Salva tion Army Is pussled. He has a radio which he is to sell, the proceeds to go to the Army welfare fund. Williams' puzzle Is to get a method of sell ing the radio which will give the Army the maximum fund. Its & new radio too, a brand new Phllco, given the Army by the H. L. Stiff furniture company, so there will be many people who will want It and be willing to pay well for It. The radio has been on display as the Stiff store. Ensign Williams is open to sug gestions on how to dispose of the radio. Some might suggest a raffle, but that would hardly ac cord with Army belief. Sealed bids, an auction, "what have you." Anyone with a good laea on the subject should tell Ensign Williams about it He will sift the plans and then announce to the public so he - can get a lot of dollars from the radio tor his charity fund.
