Saturday was a banner day with the
Red Cross Christmas seal agents
throughout the city, and many hun
dreds of the tokens were bought BY
those who have needed the popular de-
mand to shop early" But a good deal
of time had to be spent by the sellers

was, How did the Red Cross seal orig
mate and how did it come to be tho
recognized means OF raising funds in

all the agents glaQIy answered. as In

tary League. More than s1.evv.0O0 was
realized from the sale OF these seals.
but alter the war the sale OF the seals
WAS suspended and people soon ~
got that they had ever been used.
