'there is displayed a double-pne advertisement from a current is sue of a sreat national weekly that brines the war on the sea directly home to this section, and to the store where the advertisement ap pears. The proprietor of the store has a per sonal interest in the advertisement also, for it relates t war work that he is doine; for the government. Furthermore, he helped pay for it and the cost of the "ad" for the single is sue was $10,000. The advertisement asks for 50,000 men, be tween 21 and 30, for service in the new Mer chant Marine. In the language of its head line, it offers ".")0,000 jobs at sea" to clean-cut young Americans. It states that the U. S. Shipping Board will give them special train ing before putting them into actual sea serv ice .carrying supplies to our armies and Allies in the righting fields of Europe. So much im portance is attached to this work that men accepted for it are exempt from a call to mili tary duty. The advertisement relates further, that "the REX ALL STORES" throughout the United States, nearly 7,000 of them, have been designated by the Government as enrolling stations for the U. S. Shipping Board. At these stores, light in their own home towns, young men may now 'sign on for training and subsequent sea duty in the U. S. Merchant Marine." The personal interest of Mr. J .B. Hitter, in common with other REXALL druggists, in this striking war announcement, is contained in the concluding words of the advertisement, which are: '.This use of the stores and the expense of this advertisement are a contribu tion bv the R.EXALL STORES to the cause of Libertv."
