"The rejected shoes in good condition are sold as jumble; the others—the utterly hopeless ones—the Salvation Army takes, for we dare not let our repair bill mount too high when it already stands at about £18 a month, "Any leather handbags we receive are cut into squares and made into Yeather coats, These coats, if rather to look at, are at least warm and comfortable, "We also handle a certain amount of new stuff, and this is packed separately, every article having been listed, "To date our department has sent over 200 tons of clothing, bedding, and shoes to Britain, and very little has been lost, It is shipped directly from the coast here to the British Red Cross Society in England, who distribute it wherever it is needed most, "So if any of you should receive clothes or shoes from the USA, think of the hands that packed and sent the things to you, and remember that all over this great country, men and Women are working and praying for your victory, and that you, by your courage and your faith, have made them proud to be able to help you, even in this small way."
