Your scrap papers will deliver shells

Millions of boxes for shipping food and munitions; thousands of wall boards for building shelters and barracks; obviously all this requires a lot of paper—scrap paper if at all possible, and new paper pulp if there is not enough old paper.

By helping your local committee to recover scrap paper, you help conserve new pulp for the manufacture of fine papers. You’ll also ensure greater quantities of pulp products are available for explosives, shells and under-water bombs, for radio components, joint filler, and other items needed for the war effort.

Make sure you don’t run out of paper—save your scraps.
