A
proclamation appeals to the duty of women,
Is
to not to stop reading new books,
Especially
those published since war declared.
The
advert reminds them millions are employed -
Girls
being mentioned, as well as women and men.
Listed
are all occupations involved in the industry,
And
how they will be robbed of daily bread,
If
readers refrain from reading. Marked in capitals
'DO
YOUR SHARE FOR YOUR COUNTRY
BY
KEEPING THESE PEOPLE EMPLOYED.'
