To the Winnetka post office patrous: Winnetka is to be congratulat- ed upon the splendid manner in which it has lent its assistance in all war work, and everyone is proud of the patriotic record. I wish, however, to call your attention to just one more vital and necessary duty which con- fronts us, and that is the success of the War Savings campaign for the in the sale of these stamps before the end of the year, We have sold $96,000 worth (maturity value) thus far and in order to reach our quota we are obliged to sell about 5000 ad- ditional stamps during November and December. We have about 6000 people living in our postal district, and if but one stamp were purchased by each individual, we would run way over the necessary amount. The great "over the top" drive be- ains in Cook county on Thanksgiv- ing day. A survey by the War Sav- ings committee indicates that it is necessary to sell twenty-five million dollars worth of stamps during December to put Cook county "over the top". It should be the patriotic duty of every citizen, to buy not only member of his family, but to see that his employes and other individuals with whom he comes in contact, shall purchase War Savings stamps to the full limit of their ability. It is suggested that War Savings stamps make a splendid Christmas gift, rather than useless and wasteful articles. Please arrange with your carrier for your "over the top" share of War Savings stamps, and this last, but not least, of the war campaigns will con- clude with success in Winnetka. Very respectfully, Arthur M. Kloepfer, Postmaster. P. S. Stamps sell at $4.22 in Novem- ber and $4.23 in December.
