Artists, billposters, printers, paper

.against tuberculosis which is about to

National Association for the Study
and Prevention of Tuberculosis. In
addition to the gifts of free space on
billboards and free printing of posters
made by the Associated Billposters
•and Distributors of America and tho
Poster Printers' Association, several
hundred paper manufacturers have
given paper for the posters to the
value of several thousand dollars, and
jirti.sts from all over the United States
are contributing sketches for pasters,
free of charge. The local, state and
national anti-tuberculosis associations
will see i hat the posters are placed
in cities and towns where they are
inost needed.
the posters are nine feel long and
seven feet wide and will be printed in
several colors. If sufficient paper is
procured a million will be pasted up.
Tfce value of these various contribu-

paid for at commercial rates.

the need of a spe-

congestion or in-

I am free from these troubles."
