Yylien you join me great civilian army
of millions of Red Cross Members be sure you
get a Red Cross Button and a Red Cross Service Flag.
Then wear the button on your overcoat and hang the Red Cross Service
Flag in your window at home to show to all the world that your home is
a loyal American home. There is no charge for either the Button or the
Service Flag-your $1.00 membership entitles you to both.

Every true-blue American home in this vicinity
every home excepting those that are pro-German
every home excepting those that are for the Kaiser with all his cruelties
and diabolical crimes every home excepting those that shelter traitors
will have a Red Cross Service Flag in its front window before this .week
is over.
Before this week is over you will be able to
tell, from the Red Cross Service Flags you see as you walk
down the street, which are the loyal American homes and which are the
other kind.
And on Christmas Eve
next Monday night, at half past seven o'clock,
there will be a tremendous demonstration ALL OVER
AMERICA of genuine American loyalty, on our first Christmas Eve in
the war.
For on that night, at half past seven Christmas
Eve, every home in this community that has a Red Cross
Service Flag, and every Red Cross home in every city and town from
Maine to California, every Red Cross home in every village and on every
farm, will light a Christmas candle and place it in the window just back
of the Service Flag, to shed its beams of Christmas cheer upon a war-torn
World.
Millions upon millions of Christmas, candles,
shining through Red Cross Service Flags that night, will
through their twinkling beams spread a message of mercy throughout
the world will show to every American soldier and every American
sailor, whether here or on the seas or in the trenches of France, that all
America is backing him up
i
Get Your Service Flag amid
Geft Your Candle Ready
The Red Cross Service Flag is used to show how many people in your home are Red Cross
Members. If only one person is a Red Cross Member, you use the Flag with only the large
Rfd Cross on it. If two persons are Members, you add one small Red Cross. If three persons
are Members you add two small Red Crosses, and so on, adding one small Red Cross for each
additional Member in your home. But if EVERYBODY in your home is a Member, including
the baby and the maid, then in addition to the small Red Crosses for each Member, you paste
a WHITE STAR in the center of the large Red Cross. You can secure the small Red Crosses
and the White Star at any Red Cross Booth when you take out your memberships.
