April, at City Hall, present appeal to the Mer-
chants of Portland to aid them in tho enterprise in
which they have enlisted. They ask 1t with the thor
ough understanding of how literally and constantly
you have given during the last five years. and OF how
freely you respond at all times to the needs Of the
suffering. 10 .
Conscious that the class for whom labor
have not been uncared for previous to the close
war, but that the CITY, as Government, has done
what it could, and private charity has bestowed its
alleviations yet have they sometimes been reduced
to extremities such we do not want our soldiers
families to suffer. We hope through the concert Of
sympathy and action for these poor that they may
eventually be aided into comfortable maintenance
Of themselves; therefore we ask your kind benevo-
lence - t....s, On.
We ask Of you to look over your. stocked merchan-
disc and what you can willingly give to us: We
shall be grateful for whatever you may send The
tiele that may seem Of little value to you, may be
made of pecunary value to the Fair, converted TO
use for those for whemwe ask it, We present this
appeal to dealers in all knds Of merchandise, and
would give notice that lie or two ladies will be at
