Salvationists Allies of Poor In Combating H. C. of L.

A second hand store maintained by the Salvationists In Richmond, and patronised largely by negroes? (Insert) Miss Catherine Jollie, only colored soldier in tho National Headquarters Corps, New York.

“Clothes may be worn, but never out,” Is the slogan of the Salvation Army second-hand stores maintained tn connection with the organization's industrial homes throughout the country. Particularly in these days of high prices the stores have become effective allies of the poorer classes In combating the H. C. Ik In these veritable “Old Curiosity Shops” may be purchased shoes, clothes, hats, furniture, stoves and a great number of other household artidea. Thia material is salvaged and

put in usable condition by workers in the industrial homes of the Army. > Prices charged for the reclaimed products are absurdly low, but still are sufficient to cover the wages of the men and women who do the repairing as well as to provide in most cases for the “overhead” cost of maintaining both the Industrial Home and its “retail” store. The shop shown In the picture is located In the negro section of Richmond, Va. Similar Institutions for all races and creeds are found In practically every one of the larger cities tn the United States. ।
