COMMERCE CHAMBER LOOKS FOR UNUSUAL man FOR SECRETARY
COMPANY
WILL DONATE
To CHURCHES

4 new and most unusual philan-
tropic plan has recently been adopt
ed by one of the leading business in
stitutions in tho Calumet district,
namely. the Calumet Baking Co. OF
Hammond. This institution some two
weeks ago announced that any
church located in the Calumet dis
trict was able to raise funds through
a plan they presented and because
Of the breadth of this plan permit
ted them to raise unlimited amounts
depending only on their activity.
Because this aroused so much in
terest, The Times reporter called on
W. c Hutchinson. general manager
OF the Calumet Baking Co. today fog
an explanation OF the plan.
since we opened our plant sew
eral months ago" said Mr.. Hutchtn-
son. I'VE have had requests made up
on Us for donations to a great many
charitable activities and to funds
for causes which we consider very
worthy. Because our whole activity
is centered in tais great district we
have wanted 10 assist wherever We
could. To ehat end we have origin
ated a plan which Will permit any
church organization or church TO
secure funds through our efforts,
they themselves TO determine the ex-
tent OF our contribution
Two weeks ago we made an offer
to church organizations that was as
follows: During the period up to the
arst Of April we agreed to redeem all
wrappers taken from our pound and
one-half pound loaf of bread brand
ed under the name Klsen Day Maid;
the bags containing Kleen Day Maid
tea biscuit, and the red bands around
each loaf of Old Hettler Rye bread.
These wrappers. bags and bands we
agree to redeem at one dollar per
hundred In lots Of one hundred or
more.
This offer does not include the
wrappers from our one pound loaf.
I'VE have invited the churches OF
the district to appoint committees TO
collect these wrappers from their
members or Pensioners. and deliver
them TO the Calumet Baking Co. ?;
Calumet avenue and Truman blvd.
Hammond.
The money for the redemption
will then be paid TO the committee
upon authorization by the clergyman
or some duly authorized representa-
tive Of the various churches
TT must be clearly understood
that these wrappers are not redeem
able by individuals unless they are
authorized BY the various churches.
The wrappers are to be delivered
only IN lots OF one hundred or more
and in no case will the money be
paid for their redemption except
through an authorized committee
from your church
The Times is proud to be able to
report such a worthy philarthrop:c
achievement. an achievement whose
magnifcence has never been reached
IN this district heretofore.
Yet because OF the modesty OF the
Calumet Baking Co, the plan has
been going on quietly for the last
two weeks and It is understood that
nearly every church in the district
is participating IN Il or planning to
do so.
without question such plan as
this enables churches and church or
ganizations. to secure donations OF
unlimited amounts without feeling
any obligation in the matter and Of
fers an avenue to help needy fanil-
les, guilds. church societies and 9TH
er activities OF this nature.
Mr.. Hutchinson advises that the
offer is unlimited and that any
churches located An the district can
participate. So IF your church or
church organization is not taking ad-
vantage of this entirely new plan
which has never been offered before
1t is urged that you take advantage
of il at once.
