I have just received a supply of
Honor Flags for our solicitors who
get 75 per cent and up to 100 per
cent of their prospect cards covered
by pledges. I hope every solicitor
will strive to be the first possessor
of a hundred per cent Flag.
Also have Honor Rolls for firms
and corporations employing more
than ten persons. These Honor Rolls
are to be given to the firm when 75
per cent of its employees have sub
scribed—with extra stickers until
100 per cent have subscribed.
Sample of both the flag and Honor
Roll may be seen in window of the
Daily Independent.
