FOR WANT OF A NAIL-
"For want of a nail a shoe was lost .. "
Most of us are familiar with the military
adage which opens with that line and goes on
to tell how the missing nail, by costing the.
loss of a shoe, cost the loss of a horse, of the
general who rode it and, ultimately, the loss
of the battle in which the general's leadership
was essential to victory.
Through its frequent repetition, or through
sayings of similar character, the lesson of the
importance of seemingly trivial things to
great achievements has- been pretty well es-
tablished in American minds.

PULPWOOD


ARMY


they're vital to Victory!


The men who wield their axes and saws in
the Army of the Woods are playing a vital
part in winning the war. In fact, many of
them have been specifically draft deferred
because their boards felt they could render
a more valuable service cutting pulpwood
than in the front line. Great credit is also due
to the foresters and county agents and others
who have supplied the technical information
and helped organize the work.
A Great Responsibility
Pulpwood is a vital material with countless
war uses. The shortage of pulpwood is so
serious ttat it is nw on the war production
urgency list.


Men whose war job is pulpwood produc--
tion are keenly, aware of the importance of
their assignment and the necessity of getting
out every possible cord.
