Rummage sales: The all American money making project

By MARY LEE WILLMAN There are very few women, in this country, who haven’t been involved at some time with the all American money making project known as a rummage sale. Rummage sales, as near as can be determined, came into existence back in the 19205. In the 1950 s and 60s the rummage sale really camelnto its own with the advent of individual families having yard sales, porch sales, garage sales, etc. The rummage sale is such a logical answer for disposing of perfectly good junk and outgrown clothing it’s a wonder someone didn’t think of it ages and ages ago. Before and during the early years of the rummage sale, fund raising projects sponsored by churches, lodges and organizations, were also social events. Popular fund raising activities were: penny suppers, ice cream socials, Tom Thumb weddings, ‘ amateur shows, readings and minstrel shows. Many a retiree can remember, as a child, being draped in lace curtains or wearing a top hat stuffed with newspapers to keep it above the ears, while participating in a Tom Thumb wedding. Another fund raising activity was the old fashioned bazaar. It was held fair or carnival style with a kissing booth, game booths, food booths and most every other kind of booth that could be constructed by enterprizing members of the group. The ladies that talked to this reporter were specific in pointing out that each rummage sale is quite different and all rummage sales should not be judged by a visit to just one sale; that a tremendous amount of work is involved washing, ironing, mending and tagging; everything must be clean, clean, clean; you can’t sell trash; be careful not to over price, and the success of the sale is always at the mercy of the weather. Generally an organization’s

desire to raise money for a charitable project will prompt some member to suggest a rummage sale. The sales are an excellent way for inactive members of a group to contribute to the financial support of their organizations. Sale items are picked up by committee members from the homes of elderly or ill persons who have an interest in helping with projects but are unable to do so actively. The sale, if properly managed, can be an excellent money maker. A two-day sale, blessed with good weather, can earn as much as several hundred dollars for its sponsors. On the other hand, a two-day sale might earn as little as S2O or less. Most rummage sale items are priced from 10 cents to 75 cents with next to new winter coats going for several dollars. An antique hunter may find an occasional treasure with a 50 cent ‘ tag, but this is the exception rather than the rule.
