                    HELP WIN THE WAR
 
    This is a patriotic chain letter sent out to help the sale

of Canadian War Savings Stamps. By this means, if everyone plays

their part, a very great number of stamps will be sold and a

large amount of money raised for war purposes.


    All you have to do is to purchase a 25-cent War Savings Stamp

and put it in an envelope and mail it to the first name on the

list.


    Next, make four copies of this letter, leaving off the first

name on the list and adding your own name to the bottom of the

list. Send a copy to each of four friends who you know will carry

on the chain. As your name reaches the top of the list, you will

receive 256 of the 25-cent War Savings Stamps.


    This will greatly stimulate the sale of War Savings Stamps as

the chain spreads to all parts of Canada.
