WORKING TOGETHER
FOR ADVANCEMENT
Women's clubs, especially
those formed for personal and
community advancement, may
be a vital force in the life of any
town. Redwood Falls has six
such organizations, some of
whose members have attained
statewide regulations for their
activities in promoting worth
while projects.
To insure the best results in
civic enterprises and the great
est success in any undertaking,
it has been the custom of the
clubs to unite when undertaking
any project The effectiveness of
this plan is illustrated by the
complete success of the second
district Women'S club convention
here, June and g., 1889.

study group in the city, was Or
ganized in 1901 and was feder-
ated in 1921. 1t is limited to Is
members. Officers for 1939-40

The Twentieth Century was
