To Cheer Our Soldiers

Overseas Club Asks for Subscriptions to the Tobacco Fund

There are 70,000 Canadians at the front.  It needs nearly $20,000 a week to supply every man with tobacco.

The Overseas Club for 25 cents can cheer the heart of one of the 70,000 with a packet of Canadian manufactured tobacco, 50 Canadian manufactured cigarettes, and a box of matches.

The Overseas Club has facilities, by reason of exemption from duty and free transit, which enable it to send all this value for 25 cents.  If you purchase the same goods in a retail store in Canada and pay the postage yourself it will cost you nearly a dollar.

The Overseas Club will make your one dollar do the work of four, or turn your 25 cents into a dollar, or nearly so.

All monies contributed in Canada are paid into the banks and remitted to London, and every cent is expended in the purchase of Canadian manufactured tobacco and cigarettes.  Francis R. Jones, Windsor Hotel, Montreal, is the organizing secretary of the Overseas Club Tobacco Fund.
