| description |
Produced by the Council of National Defense, the materials include correspondence and circulars that promote "thrift and economy" in Christmas shopping. The first letter discourages "Christmas giving which involves the purchase of gifts" in order to relieve "the present heavy burden placed upon labor, transportation and other resources of the nation." In the fifth letter, the Council of National Defense encourages "families who are in the habit of giving each other Christmas gifts shall this year put into the purchase of War Savings Stamps or Government Bonds or into the support of war charities the amount of money which usually they collectively spend on their presents." In the last letter, Frank S. Moody, chairman of the Tuscaloosa County Council of Defense, indicates that toy merchants in Tuscaloosa favor "the shutting off of the toy trade this coming Xmas." |
