THE PEOPLE really took ad-
Il vantage of the Coop fair
that was held at the Local IL
Hall, last Thursday, Friday and
Saturday. There were people
from all over Toledo, that came
and bought groceries. The people
that did partake were so en-
thused over the savings that
they came back the next day
with their neighbors, so that
they too, could partake of the
wonderful savings. Many people
iwere under the impression that
one must be member of the Co.
op before they could buy at the
fair. When they were informed
that they did not need be, to
partake of the savings they were
more then thankful and especial
ly when they surveyed the mer-
chandise and saw some of the
wonderful buys. Some of them
were increased slightly. The best,
or rather one of the best buys
was, Coop soap chips, which re-
tailed at 26 cents, while other
brands that do not come up to
Coop qualifications and with
less poundage per package, it
really was a terrific savings.
Toilet soap which retailed for
3 for 27 cents and this included
wash cloth, was also a good
buy. Strawberry preserves, was
80 cents for large size glass and
brother, when l say this was
good l really mean good won't
go into detail on the rest of the
merchandise, for all of the peo-
pie that were there know how
good they were and the ones
that weren't there will just have
to suffer the loss.
The bargains were so good
that tWo-thirdS of the merchan-
disc was sold on Thursday, and
by Friday noon we were out of
so many items that we looked
like store that was going out of
business, instead of one that is
trying to start a business. We
tried desperately to get more
wares, but it seems that Detroit
was low on the same things that
we needed so badly, and we
didn't have the time to make the
trip to Chicago before the fair
was scheduled to close, so we had
to make the best of the situation.
Due to unforeseen circumstan-
ces the card party that was
scheduled by the Women's Guild
to take place on May 5 in parlor
A, has been postponed indie
finately. The Women's Guild
will have their meeting on May
the 18 as per scheduled.
Mrs. Davies, was unable to
make the choral practice last
Monday, but the good soul, saw
that the girls in the choral socie-
ty were not without an instruct
or. She sent her daughter and
son-in-law in to give us our
training. The experience was
wonderful. Mr.. and Mrs. Kings
bury are instructor and in
at the Pemberville
High School, in musical train
ing so it really was wonderful to
see the way that they coordinate
in their teachings. The girls real
ly enjoyed them very much, and
I guess they had a wonderful
time also.
They really got a big boot at
the Union songs that we sing and
as you all know, they are all
parodies to some we'll known
song, and they thought that it
was wonderful the way that they
were transposed and this rythm
with which the girls carried
them in harmonizing parts.
The choral society will make
an appearance at the YWCA, a
gainc, this time for the National
Industrial girls convention, on
May II, with the invitation to
attend their dinner at $50 fol-
lowed with program of which .
we will be a part of. This is the .
second time that we will sing at .
this affair, so / guess that we are |
getting better and better all of |
