Dear Mrs.
Olney Housewife:
We need not tell you of our shortage of auto-
mobile tires and our Government’s request
to conserve tires and gasoline.
We are sure that you will agree with us that
it would be unpatriotic for us not to do all
that we can to save these needed supplies.
We know that our customers will co-operate
with us in trying to eliminate so many delivery
trips.
Therefore, the following Olney grocers are asking that, if possible, call your orders in before 11
A. M. and 5 P. M. in the afternoons . . . and please help us conserve sacks and cardboard
boxes by accepting as many of your groceries as possible unsacked and unboxed.
We know you will help us by getting your order in as early as possible, and we want to thank
you in advance for co-operating with us in this effort.
