REPORT OF RED CROSS
THRIFT SHOP


Another report of particular in
terest was that given by Mrs. H.
H. Eldridge, whose wise admins
trative work in connection with
the Thrift shop, has been in no
small way responsible for the re-
markable success of the enterprise.
The Red Cross Thrift shop was
opened in the ticket Office of the
Colonial Theatre Tuesday, Janu-
airy 27, with Mrs. E. E. Sargent in
charge for the month.
The work was carried on un-
til the 18th of April when the
shop was moved upstairs into
larger and better quarters.
1t has been open every Tuesday
since the beginning at ten o'clock
in the morning to receive articles,
and from one p. m. till eight p. m.
for selling.
In the seven months of its eX-
istencc 1889 people have been
served, clothing amounting to
about 500 has been given away,
on order from Miss Bingham, Miss
Varney or Mrs. Haywood.
The total receipts for the seven
months are as follows:
Gross receipts, $1006.14; ex-
pense, $21.65; net receipts, $9S4.49.
We have found on the part OF
the townspeople, a splendid spirit
of cooperation and willingness to
help in any possible way. The sue
cess of the shop is due to this
spirit, and to the various women
who have served from month to
month on the committees, giving
time and strength to the work.
Our work has been made much
easier through the kindpess Of Mi.
Juneau, of the Stanlev Furniture
Co., who has in spite of the press
of work in the store, been most
kind and accommodating, calling
at the various places for donations
for us, putting up racks to hang
clothing on, fixing lights and many
other thing. Too much can not
be said of Mr.. Juneau's kindness,
as only those in close touch with
the work can possibly realize what
he has. done. II made nd differ
ence what was asked of him we
always found a ready response;
We are deeply indebted to him.
Other good friends to which the
Red Cross is indebted follows the
building association who allowed
the use of the rooms for the work,
Mr.. Fred Clifford who made our
sign, Mr.. Merrill of the Telephone
Co, for allowing his men to put the
sign up for US. To Lougee and
