OUT-OF-DATE POSTERS
SHOULD OE REMOVED
The Territorial Council of Defense
desires to call the attention of the
public to the fact that there are tilt
ing displayed at many places in
Mask numerous posters advertising
campaigns and drives which have long
since been concluded.
Dor instance, in many places post
ers are still displayed advertising the
Second and Third Liberty loan cam
paigns and the lied Cross drives of
December. 1917, and May, 1918.
The continued display of those
posters will undoubtedly detract from
the effectiveness of advertising mat
ter which will lie distributed in cam
paigns which are yet to come; and
they should all be removed as soon as
possible; and nothing should he dis
played excepting advertising matter
representing some live issue

the ages of 18 and 45 are either going
