Number of Stores in Stamp Drive Rises
POMEROY. Number of stores enrolling for participation in the defense stamp program is increasing, according to report by Theodore Reed, county chairman. Business places are cooperating in a two fold plan of action, first by selling defense stamps, and second by asking purchases of stamps on a payroll check off plan. Leaders of the program anticipate enrollment of virtually all business places by July 1, and foresee this as being important in coming months in helping Meigs County to reach its monthly quota in stamp sales.
