The November sales were 34.5 per cent over the like month last year when deliveries amounted to 21,629 cars. A study of recruiting results shows that publicity has been one of the chief factors of successful reâ€" eruiting and the cooperation of newspapers and radio stations has been of great assistance in what has been accomplished. From the beginning of the present campaign, Reserve officers have been assisting the recruiting efforts of the Corps Area, working both as inâ€" dividuals and in giving active supâ€" port to the Regular Army agencies engaged in recruiting. _ Recently, special committees, headed by Reâ€" serve officers, and having as memâ€" bers Reserve officers and public minded citizens have been formed in Illinois. ‘The active cooperation and assistance of the American Legion and> of civil officials and patriotie individuals has done much to make wecruiting efforts successful.
