FROM
THE PRESIDENT'S PROCLAMATION
April 15, 1917
'"TpO THE men who run the railways of the country, whether
J. they be managers or operative employes, let me say that the
railways arc the arteries of the nation's life, and that upon them rests
the immense responsibility of seeing to it that those arteries suffer
Ho obstruction of any kind, no inefficiency or slackened power.
"To the merchant let me suggest the motto, 'Small profits and
quick service'; and to the shipbuilder the thought that the life of
the war depends upon him. The food and the war supplies must be
carried across the seas no,mattcr how many ships are sent to the bot
tom. The places of those that go down must be supplied and sup
plied at once.
"To the miner let me say that he stands where $hc farmer does.
The work of the world waits on him. f he slackens or fails, armies
and statesmen arc helpless. He also is enlisted in the great service
army.
"The manufacturer does not need to be told, I hope, that the
nation looks to him to speed and perfect every process; and 1 want
only to remind his employes that theinc service is absolutely indis
pensable and is counted on by every man who loves the countrv and
its liberties. J
"It is evident to every thinking man that our industry on
the farms, in the shipyards, in the mines, in the factories, must be
made more prolific and more efficient than ever, and that they must
be more economically managed and better adapted to the particular
requirements of our task than they have been; and what I want to
say is that the men and the women, who devote their thought and
their energy to these things will be serving the country and conduct
ing the Fight for peace and freedom just as truly and just as effec-
; tryely as the men on the battlefield or in the trenches. '
I hlS IS the time for Amerirn tn rnrrprr lipr'nnn-ie,!nnUi ...i.
. of wastefulness and extravagance.- Let every man and every woman
t rlTj' Caref,u1' Provident use and expenditures as a
I ,' public duty, as a dictate of patriotism which no one can now exoect
ever to be excused or forgiyen for ignoring." .

You may compare with
profit every little detail
of our Suits and Over
coats for this season.
Some men put style first and wear second;
some reverse the operation. It takes all
kinds of men to make up a world.
We catch them both going and coming.
Reeds' clothes are made of the best pro
curable fabrics in styles that appeal to the
most fastidious as well as conservative
dressers.
