These messages are of necessity re-
stricted and brief. No letter that is
not wholly personal and relating to

Red Cross has suggested to it's New
York county chapter. Just recently,
that superduity shop be opened In
New York city. Understand. this is
not to be rummage sale, nothing of
the sort. They are not old. worn
things which are to be sold heres
but Just the things that families have
duplicates of. or have no actual need
for and no idea Of needing in the
future. Every attic and basement in
the land has slowed away something
of this kind, maybe number of
things. which somebody else>. does
want and will buy.
mot only homes will be called on
to offer objects. but stores. hotels. etc,
will contribute. This shop is to be
opened up in some centrally situated
building. where all classes and con-
ditions of peope pass. Workers from
the New York Red Cross list will give
their services free to the carpentry,
the cleaning and painting and what
ever else may be needed to make the
storeroom look neat and attractive.
The salespeople will. of course, be Red
Cross workers. Everything you can
think of is expected to be on sale
there.
