Workers are active in every phase of stimulating sales, therefore a much better report on the progress of the drive is anticipated in the near future. Results from the various mills, stores and other campaigns are expected to swell the Bond totals, but nothing short of complete support on the part of the people of Putnam is required to make certain that we carry our load and Back The Invasion by pushing the Fifth War Loan over to a banner finish.
