Late-summer 1919 San Antonio Express page in the gallery under a “war 2” filename: the clip sits in the post–Armistice window when dailies still carried bond drives, ration talk, and retail ads on the same spread. Hoffmann-Hayman retail copy should be read against whatever Liberty Loan or civic material shares the column—use the scan to separate public appeals from the coffee lines.

Just this: That every minute of the day, they are sacrificing themselves for the sake of Liberty and America—that we’d be back of them to the last ditch, to give them all the “tools” they need to lick the Kaiser.

There is only one way to make good on that promise—and that is for every last one of us to put in every minute of his working day where it does the most good.

And there are not just minutes but whole days lost every time a man changes his job. A man has to be found to replace him. He loses time in moving. He takes time to catch on to the ways in the new plant.

When a manufacturer needs more men, it is his duty to the country as a whole not to disturb plants that are engaged in essential war work, but to get the Government’s help in finding men who can be taken from less important work. This can be done through the United States Employment Service with 500 branch officers and 20,000 agents of its recruiting division, the United States Public Service Reserve. There is no charge—and the service is now placing 200,000 skilled and unskilled men monthly.

Tell your labor needs to the local Examiner-in-Charge, local agent of the United States Public Service Reserve or to the Director General at Washington.
