Harvester Dealers Launch Drive For All Scrap Iron An organized effort to collect all the scrap metal possible from Canâ€" adian farms to help meet the critiâ€" cal war production need for scrap mt the nation‘s foundries and facâ€" tories was announced today by Mr. H. C. Ray jn charge of advertising and sales Bromotion for the Interâ€" national Harvester Company of Canada, Limited. The lcug colâ€" lection campaign will be coni ucted by International Harvester dealers in their localities and is part of a Dominionâ€"wide drive for scrap from farms by\ Harvester dealers in 3,000 communities. + "A measure of the possibilities," Mr. Ray said, "is the enormous piie of lcn}) iron and steel on the counâ€" try‘s farms. The estimates run into hundreds of thousands of tons. But unless this seraf starts to move at once, steel mills will have to reduce operations, the producâ€" tion of arms will slow down, and more lives, time, and money will be spent in fighting the war to a The drive, Mr." Ray said, is a contribution to the national salvâ€" age campaign, and has received ofâ€" ficial sanction from, Honourable J. T. Thorson, Minister Department of National War Services. The c-mgizn has been undertaken by the Harvester Company in the beâ€" lief that the strategic location of its farm equipment and motor truck dealers in farm trading cenâ€" ters and their acquaintance with farmers provide the shortest cut to hr;n scrap collection on a large scale. The plan calls for the establishâ€" ment by the dealers of scrap colâ€" lection depots to which farmers may bring all the scrap mrl they can find on their farms and from these points.the scrap will be sent as quickly as possible to factories turning out guns, tanks, and other war supplies. The scrap will be sold through regular ulvnT chanâ€" nels with remittance to each farmâ€" er for the full amount his scrap brings, There will be no charge, no commissions, or no profit in it for the Harvester dealer wh:r&.r- fio:flfl his service as a patriotic luty.
