Will You Take a Little Trouble to Help These Boys Have Comfort?
The Y. M. C. A. needs men for war service. The nation has given generously in money for this work but money won't do everything — certainly not in war.
The Y. M. C. A. is in special need of men to serve as Truck Drivers and Mechanics.
75 Drivers and 25 Mechanics every month.
We are making this appeal to the business men — the employers of the country to get those men for us.
The Y. M. C. A. service behind and on the battle lines is a highly organized business. And as in every other big business, transportation is one of its greatest needs.
The canteen stocks have to be kept moving or the boys go without the comforts they crave so much — tobacco — chocolate — pastry — little army "luxuries."
After a long march or a hard fight or a trick in the trenches the boys flock to the 'Y" canteen. And it sure is tough if the "Y" man has to say "Nothing doing boys, the truck didn't get in today." Suppose your boy were there!
The Y. M. C. A. does not want men who are eligible for the army. But there are men in this country (lots of them) who are over 37 years old and are not in Class 1 of the draft and who know how to drive a truck or keep an engine in shape. We want them. We want 100 a month.
Maybe you have a man with that training working for you or you know such a man somewhere. Maybe '^e has not realized how much he can do to help the
boys. A little talk from you would start him our way.
Will you act as a recruiting officer to get that man for us?
There is no profit in this work for any man who serves but he will get his living and his family, if he has one, will be taken care of and all his life he will rejoice over the service he has rendered. Talk with men you know who might do this work. Explain to them the need for their service. Get them interested and thinking.
In order that you may talk to such men on the best basis fill in and mail the coupon and we will furnish full information.
Help us get these Men
