IS A BIG SUCCESS Methodist Ladies’ Rummage Sale Benefits a Great Many STOCK IS LARGE Includes Many Brand New Articles of Clothing and Apparel 1 The rummage sale being conducted by the ladies of the Methodist church in the city building at the corner of Madison and Third strets, is proving one of the most successful ever held in this city. At noon today the ladies bad over sixty dollars to their credit in the bank and a large stock of goods still on hand. The goods offered are all in good condition, a large amount being new, quite a number of articles having been donated by various business firms. It is surprising what good a sale of this kind does in a community, for aside from the fact that the society in charge realizes a neat sum which is used to a good advantage, a large number of people are thug afforded an opportunity to secure good warm clothing at a small cost and when they buy and pay for it, they do not fee( as though they are accepting charity. The sale will continue for a week or so yet and the ladles expect to dispose of the entire stock in that time. MAKES STATEMENT (Continued from page 1.)
