Christmas
Stocking
Club
81

One year ago today the 1911 Christ
mas Stocking club had 10 members.
Today. the 1912 Christmas Stocking
club has a membership Of over 175.
On Christmas eve, 1911, the stocking
club had a membership of 3S9, which
shows that 389 pairs Of stockings were
given to 3S9 Juniors.
This year we want the membership
to be near the 500 mark Every extra
pair Of stockings makes one more
child happy. So that the new Juniors
will know all about the Christmas
Stocking club we will give a little bit
OF it's history.
The Courier Junior was the first
j Christmas Stocking club in Iowa, or
the nearby states and was planned
right here in this Office, December,
1906. ITS purpose is to make little chill
dren happy at Christmas time.
/ All one has to do to become mem
Der of the club is to give nice pair
of well filed stockings or a small
amount of cash.
Into one stocking put some candy
and nuts, also toy, an orange, pair
Of mittens, an apple and the other
stocking. Many of the Juniors fill
both stockings. On the card with the
donors name put the age of the child
for whom the stockings are Intended.
We will publish the names OF the
members Of the club every day until
Christmas. 1t Is not necessary to
bring the stockings until about the
Friday before Christmas but we Will
be clad to have the names right away
of the children and grownups, who
care to belong to the club. Juniors
and grownups living at distance can
send a pair of stockings, also a little
change, and we will fix them up.
The stockings will be left just as
the donors bring them in, and Will
be distributed Christmas eve direct
from this office, among little children
whose parents are unable to provide
any Christmas cheer and to little
ones bereft Of ftheir parents.
The club membership up to 10 a. m
tollows:
