THE SATURDAY EVENING POST 50,000 Jobs at June &, 19/8 As Important as Military Duty “O win this war we must have more SHIPS. Our fighting men—our Allies—cannot win without food and supplies—and these must be carried in ships. Things we need at home — hides from South America — sugar from Cuba— must be brought to us in ships. ‘| When the Government recently took over the Dutch ships, it Jacked men to put on them. The Hog Island Ship Yard will alone turn out 50 ships this year. With all yards busy, an 8,000 ton ship should be launched every other day. The Nation needs men to man these ships. It is building ships and buying ships as fast as it can. It sounds a call to young men now at home; a ca'l to serve their country—not on land— but these ships. It is hiring crews and training crews to man on sea; not on battle ships —but on merchant ships—to back up their brothers in the trenches. It appeals to 50,000 men of 21 to 30 years to volunteer for the Merchant Service. And it does not insist on experienced men—it trains men for their work. HOW TO INN Go to the Rexall Drug Store nearest you. The Rexall Stores have been designated by the Govern- ment as U. S. Merchant Service Enrolling Stations. fhe man in charge of enrollment will explain all about the different kinds of jobs you can choose from. Jobs for sailors, jobs for firemen, coal- passers, cooks, waiters, ete. If you are accepted for the service, you sign a contract to work in the Merchant Marine for the duration of the war. This exempts you from all military service. Then you are sent to a U. S. Shipping Board School Ship for a month’s special training, and you receive $30 wages, your board and your uniform. lhe ship makes cruises along the coast. You sleep in a good bed. You eat good food. You have ple nty of recreation and amusement. \fter training, you board the big steamer on which you are to work. Your pay is advanced at ESTIGATE: once to $45 a month or more, depending on the kind of work you do. You find that you have fine opportunities for advancement and to save money. All your living expenses are paid. if your ship is called into the war zone you receive a /arge bonus. Furthermore, you can make your job per- manent after the war, and can fit yourself for an ofhicer’s position. If it happens that you have had experience at sea—either on deck or in the engine room — your country needs you at once. You have the chance to get back to your old berth on blue water, or to become an officer. Many officers are needed now as well as crews. Ask the Rexall man. Boys — you boys have felt the thrilling call of the sea—the eagerness to visit strange lands —to take part in the greatest events the world has ever known; call at the nearest Rexall Store—TODAY — and fill out application to join the new UNITED STATES Merchant Marine

THE SATURDAY EVENING POST Are you testing an Empire | on your “southeast” wheel? BON K time as y b-) owe suggested that anybody who wanted to l s r a make a real test of an impire, or any other tire, would best put it on the “southeast” wheel and let it stay there. When you want to gauge the power of a car, you send it over the worst hill in town. When you want to see how much stuff a tire has in it, put it where it will get the most punishment. That place is the southeast, or right rear wheel. o That wheel takes hold tirst. It bears the brunt of the traction. While the left wheel rolls along comfortably in the middle of the road, the right wheel gets the rough going on the oft-side—the if sharp edges of the asphalt, the rocks and ruts. And in stopping, q it grinds against the curb. } j If a tire stands up well on the “southeast” wheel, you can be sur¢ that it will do even better at any other corner of the Car. Therefore, we urge the new customer to put his first Empire on that wheel. We want him to tind out as quickly as he can the ¥ best there is to know about Empire. The sooner he does that, the | ; ‘ sooner he'll be back for another and another. ‘or the great and rapid increase in Empire sales has been due I I the great 1 rapid Km] les has | 1 ‘ = . - -— | } to re-orders from satistied users, and from the friends of satished users who hear the story of extra miles and want to get some for 4 themselves. i - lor 30 years the |] mpire Rubber & Vire Company of Trenton, | . 4 . : F ; 4 ~ N. J., have been notable for putting long lite into rubber goods of all kinds. We can say confidently that their 1918 tires are the best product they have ever put out—equal in value to the famous Kmpire Red Tubes. | Any way you test it, you will find that the average Empire, in average running, will deliver thousands of extra miles. \' Come to the Empire store today and let us put an Iympire on ; eee ’ ¥ he **southeast’’ w rinds ayainst the curb in your *-outheast”’ wheel, the hardest test of all. starting and stopping.
