The Concord Monitor, in speaking of the distribution of posters, says:
“The posters, prepared by the New Hampshire Branch of the National Red Cross, are now being distributed throughout New Hampshire. Through the kindness of Mr. Frank Barr, Third Vice-President of the Boston & Maine Railroad, copies are being placed in all stations and the agents have been requested to see that they are displayed in a conspicuous place and not defaced. The New Hampshire Federation of Woman’s Clubs is making distribution in their several communities. The poster has attracted considerable attention outside of the state by people engaged in the same work elsewhere, as being most concise in every way.
Anyone desiring to receive copies of this poster can have them by addressing the New Hampshire Branch of the National Red Cross, Monadnock, New Hampshire, and enclosing two cents apiece for postage. It is hoped that the state will be fairly ablaze with these and that people interested in them will see that the posters are not injured or defaced.
It is the expectation to furnish a slide of this poster to all the moving picture shows in the state, hoping they will assist in calling the attention of the public to certain truths in regard to tuberculosis, by displaying this slide.
