Block employees barricaded tn
rigors to bring Clothe-A- Child to
donors with SIX HUNDRED and
ONE children assured warm
school outfits.
Selling floors organized with
porters, maintenance men, garage,
warehouse, delivery employees, in
spector wrappers, supply and win
dow trimming departments, the
offices, and receiving and mark
ing rooms to clothe the THIRTY
FIVE.
The store campaign for
Clothe-A- Child became a spirited
contest and directing the activi-
ties was a committee headed by
c. H. Paige, V, G. Roberts and G.
G. Stump.
Bulletin boards we're placarded,
collections and pledges taken and
every floor took from one to five
children.
THE THIRTY FIVE children
L we're delivered holes, rents,
scuffed toes and all by The Times.
Then the fun began. Transforma-
ton of raggedness became q
game of each department trying
to outdoor the other in making
their children the cutest and
WarmeSt.
Shaggy hair was cut Each child
was given a warm dinner.
And then to top this perfect
day for youth the THIRTY-FIVE
were given theater tickets.
So if a clerk. tired from the
Christmas rush, had little bit
more Of a smile today at Blocks
you know why. They found hu-
man holly for their Christmas
wreath and the memories will
hang through the new year just
as yours would. too, if you called
Riley 5551 and let ClOthe Child
show you how Blocks blocked out
colds, disease and despair.
Block employees know Commun-
ity Fund relief agencies can not
hope to make Christmas an event
when there's need the entire year.
Ask a Block clerk to tell his or
her experience in Clothe-A-Child
of 1884 as well as 1888.
n n
THEN you'll know why SIX
Il HUNDRED and ONE under
privileged have been clothed up to
today in city stores, at a cost of
approximately 5000,
If you can't shop for your child,
if you can't go into his home, then
write The Times and inclose a
check and the JOY will be done for
you and you'll receive the name
and address Of your boy or girl.

drive to its highest peak for in
