ALL war industries need rags ... handfuls of rags ... pounds of rags ... tons of raga. And you
can help supply them,
Without rag wipers to clean the cutting lubricant from planes, millers, drills, lathes, Canadian war workers
would be inefficient, their output reduced, their efforts hampered.
Without rags, explosive plants would slow up, aeroplane factories would find their production cut, and
wheels of shell factories would dawdle.
Start an old-fashioned rag bag in your house today. All kinds of old, worn-out, too small and other-
wise useless garments are badly needed by war industries—everything from cotton underwear to old
shirts and ties—from Grandpa's red flannels to Grandson's seatless corduroy pants.
These are real sinews of war which you can supply. Every rag in your home should go to war industries
through your Salvage Committee. Clean out and clean up on Hitler)
