If this can be done it will add to the productiveness of The U. S. Employment Service has been organized as a part of the Department of Labor to help employers find the right men, and to help men find the right jobs in all war work.

This Service has 500 branch offices covering the United States, and 20,000 U. S. Public Reserve Enrollment Agents. Thus workers are assured of being sent to the right jobs at the right time. Employers get help in hireing men as they need them.

An illustration of the benefit of this service, typical of hundreds, may be cited. An employer, having a government contract, requested that 400 men be furnished immediately. Upon investigation it was found that not only were housing facilities lacking, but the employer w'ould not need the men for several weeks.

Because the government handled the job the men were sent at the right time, housing facilities w'ere provided, and there was no loss of time or money to workers or employer. The use of the U. S. Employment Service by both employers and workers is a patriotic service and duty to the government. Apply at Nearest Office.
