John StuiZ OF StulZ Bros, who made
handsome donation a few days ago, pre-
Sented himself at headquarters yesterday
morning and said: I'VE sent you some
thing from our MOntgomeTy-ayenue store
the other day. Those who are in our store
on Fillmore street, corner of Pine, are jeal-
Gus, and they have asked me 10 come here
and say that they want to make eontribu
ton 10 this very commendable movement.
Send the wagon out tomorrow and the
goods viii be ready for you.
Now" continued Mr. StulZ ''my wife
also wants TO make a contribution, so If you
Will send to our house on Clay street YOU
will find something more there"
Oae gentleman who is engaged in the
grocery business and who has already sent
IN contribute on, asked the manager if the
gr0cers had up to this time contributed lib
orally. Being shown what had been sent in
he remarked: why, that's not one-tenth
OF what the grocers. the retail grocers, Of
this city ought TO send you. They are not
making any presents to their customers this
year. and they can afford to give, and lib
orally at that. Why, in our business we
used to give at least $500 worth of goods
away in presents during the holidays. Every
retail grocer should send you from So to $50
worth OF goods. Ii they did that they would
do great 0eai Of good and at the same time
not miss it,
The CALLS wagon will pass many of the
retail groceries to-day, so the grOcers can
stop the driver and hand him that which
they may wish to donate for the benefit of
the worthy poor.
THE CALL hopes to be able to publish in
tie Issue OF tomorrow very long list Of
the grocers OF this city who have made con-
tTibutions.
The manager suggests to these that they
look over their shelves and see If there is
not can OF canned goods that they can
give 10 the poor; II there is not a sack of
meal that they viii not miss. a few bars of
soap package or two of tea, few pounds
OF sugar or something else that they can
hand to the man on the wagon. If you 10
not see the man on THE CALLS Christmas
wagon II will cost only l cent for postal
card on which 10 write:

For contribution for Christmas box Tor he poor
Write in the address of your store and
sign the request, and the wagon will be
sent round for your gift.
BY doing this you cannot make a mistake.
and you will feel the better for the good
deed that you have done.
The Western Sugar Company sent In a
contribution yesterday of Two barrels of
sugar ana two barrels of syrup. This is a
good contribution OF sugar, but il Will not
20 lar when II comes 10 be distributed
among the many who viii have to be pro-
ylded for Now, IS there not some other
firm that Will equal or even excel this con-
tributioD? There are a number of firms
that can. and The CALLS Bureau expects
TO hear from them.
