It gave supplementary ra- tions to those who were able to supply some of their own staples. For instance, a family might have plenty of corn meal, lard, salt meat, home-made molasses and greens, but no monéy for coffee, sugar, white flour, rice and soap. “Donations of foods from fac- tories and producers helped to sup- plement the store orders. Gifts of fruit were always distributed in addition to the issuance of staples. The low prices set by merchants enabled the Red Cross dollars to go surprisingly far. The spirit of the merchants was generous in the g extreme.” = ————— Bring us your raw furs to be made up. Chas. Goldstein & Co.
