Would you like to see Washington, Mount Vernon, Monticello, New York, Boston, and other interesting and historic places visited by the 4-H party? You'll soon have that pleasure, as The Chicago Mail Order Company has produced a two-red motion picture of the trip. This film, through the courtesy of the Chicago Mail Order Company, will soon be available, without charge, to state and county club leaders, extension agents, and others. Be sure to see the picture. Ask your local leader to write for it to the National Committee on Boys' and Girls' Club Work, Auditorium Hotel, Chicago. During the trip the girls kept a day-by-day diary which is so interesting and educational that we will publish it in book form, and copies will be available about Sept. 15th. Write to The Chicago Mail Order Company, Dept. 600, Chicago, for a free copy. CHICAGO MAIL ORDER COMPANY - CHICAGO. Orders Totaling $2 or More Delivered Free! Page 6
