NOTICE
It has been brought to the
attention of the Council of De
fense that there are being dis
played at many places, numerous
posters, advertising campaigns
and drives for funds, which cam
paigns and drives have long been
concluded.
For instance, in many places
posters are still displayed adver
tising the second and third Lib
erty Loan Compaigns and the
Red Cross drives of December,
1917 and May, 19i8.
The continued display of these
posters will undoubtedly detract
from the eifectiveness of adver
tising matter which will be dis
tributed in campaigns which are
yet to come, and they should
b removed as soon as possibbe
and nothing should be displayed
excepting advertising matter
representing some live issue.
Business people will kindly
see that all such bosters are re
moved.
