sistants herself. Mrs. c. NJ. Fiero
= ith her own picked helpers cared
for Ogle's Addition Mrs. Charles
Swanenhegg and Mrs. Monty Thro-
dahl made the solicitation in West
ManEato.
North Mankato responded TO the
r-puest to take hold OF the Appeal
and have made their eoffrt- in con
junction with that OF the larger part
: OF the city. ]. u. Nielsen and Mrs.
J. B. Thompson were the Appeal
,Ifana gers and there were ten teams
OF men and women soliciting and a
most successful result is reported
from them.
The actua! amoant contributed i'll
cash and pledges does not at the
present time reach the budget re-
ouired. Four thousand dollars is
absolutely necessary to carry on the
work OF rescue and relief attendant
upon the Salvation army and the APP
peal committee intend to continue
10 keep this nsedrbeIere the citi-
gems until the full amount has been
raised and deposited with W. D. VIII
lard, The treasurer. Those out of town
or missed in the first calls will be
seen by a special follow up group
!ithin a few days.
Upon the generosity and love OF
every person in Mankato for the
service Of the Salvation army, de
pen6s the success of the appeal
Mankato's self respect demands the
tull raising OF the moderate main
tenance bydget this yea.
THE Building Fund.
\ building fund started some
years ago is on deposit in the local
banks. 4 lot of land on Second
n street mas been bought and paid for
as cite for a Salvation army
building in this city.
Such a building equipped for
,ervice, that the army now gives al
more expense, because furnished
outside OF its own doors, would be
2 great asset to Mankato. In such q
building could be soup kitchen
special emergency rooms for caring
for the transient needy and the un-
fortunates OF our own city. Women
and girls would there find a haven
when friendlesS and without funds
An auditorium for The large work
OF the religious side OF the army'S
service and quarters for the resi-
dent officers in charge would great
" add TO the possibilities Of doing
all that the Salvation army is
trained and ready TO do here ant
everywhere.
Such a proposition can never b.
considered further until the city
generously and with appreciation
glady supports their Salvation army
Z in its present environment The an.
rual budgets have never beer
forthcoming in this city though the
army has faithfully served here fol-
many years At the present time
it is caring for all the unfortunate
transients and is the largest, mos
comprehensive relief agency here
IL operates on a minimum cos
basis, seeking no recognition o.
gratitude other than that the Goi
whom they serve humbly knows
and blesses their efforts, TO-
Others"
Investing in, Humanity pays BIZ
dividends. Invest heavily this veal
through the Salvation army. Their
will the Salvation army be giver
It's chance I'm Mankato!
