Best Business
: In History For
Red Cross Store

The proceeds from Saturdays sale
at the store of the salvage depart
nent Of the Red Cross, were the larg-
est in the history of the department,
1t was announced today, The store
was opened for the first day since
the summer vacation and the former
patrons returned and many new ones
appeared for the first time to take
advantage Of the autumn bargains.
With the price of leather soaring
and the supply being at best limited,
the shoe department at the Salvage
store is one of the most popular sec-
lions and as a result the supply of
footwear in the store has been nearly
exhausted. Any one having shoes to
contribute of any size is requested
TO call the Salvage department and
the articles will be called for.
Another. item much in, demand at
the store is infants clothing Of all
sorts and the workers will gladly call
for any contributions which Fargo
people may have to offer,
The workers in the thrift shop who
are now working on articles for the
Christmas sale are in need Of doll
bodies. There has. been an excess
Of dolls heads accumulated and any
one with a beheaded doll or dolls will
scarcely be able to put such articles
to better use than to call the Salvage
department. II
=. Wednesday, a second sale Of carna-
ton plants for the benefit of the
salvage department will be held.
Many workers will have the plants
on sale at various, stores about the
city. The plants may be used for
house growing in the winter and, set
out next spring. The sale last week
proved popular with amateur gard
eners and many more plants will be
available Wednesday. +,
