The Victory Clothing Collection Starts Here Monday
Oh, what theytl give
to be in YOUR shoes ! fffe
'mm l Mm
'H, what most of the human race would
givc to be in your shoes!
Clothing that yon may consider old can
bring new life to some suffering person to
whom war brought despair and destitution.
Goal of the Victory Clothing Collection is
100,000,000 garments, plus shoes and bed
ding. If your contribution seems negligible,
bear this in mind : Every garment you give
means one more human being saved from
toU or sickness or possibly death.
About 25,000,000 people overseas re
ceived clothing collected from Americans
last spring. But for every person clothed so
far, a dozen more remain virtually diread
bare. Your spare clothing will be distrib
uted free, without discrimination, to victims
of Nazi and Jap oppression in Europe, the
Philippines.'and the Far East.
Dig into your attics, trunks, and closets
today . . . dig out all the serviceable cloth
ing you can possibly spare . . . take it to your
local collection depot now. If you doubt the
need for it overseas, ask the boys who've
been there!
