Shut Down the Plant and Went Out

NOTWITHSTANDING the fact that our plant has been running night and day for some time in order to produce literature to supply the demands, the factory closed all day, Wednesday, October 13, and practically the entire force spent the day placing the beautiful Harvest Ingathering SIGNS in the homes of the people and soliciting donations for mission purposes. The managers, editors, and all connected with the institution took part in the work. Most gratifying results came from the day's effort. A number who did not accomplish all they hoped for, are planning to spend another day in the work. Four or five connected with the institution, found it necessary to work, repairing machinery. Most of these gave their day's wages to missions.
The total orders received to date for the Harvest Ingathering SIGNS amount to 706,091, or 23,028 more than were used, all told, last season. Inasmuch as the campaign will not close until January 1, and judging from the way orders are coming in, it seems quite evident we will have to print many more than 800,000 copies, which is our printing order to date.
JAMES COCHRAN, Circulation Manager
