Food Stamp News, February 1945, page four: Provinces Ready to Do All-Out Selling Job (Canada)
A trade-newsletter page headed 'Provinces Ready To Do All-Out Selling Job' carries portraits and statements of provincial chairmen of the food industry's War Savings Stamp drive, above free advertising cuts reading 'Buy a War Savings Stamp Every Friday'. The tell is the repeated claim that every province is ready to exceed its quota, with 'Be an Active Member of the 25 Club', which presents buying as what everyone else in the trade is doing.
