But look in the windows of the store at 16 Pine street north, and see the actual articles on display there, and it should be easy to visualize something of the immense quantity of work turned out by the Timmins Red Cross each month.. The articles in the display are all perfect examples of workmanship and prove that in knitting and sewing there is a large group of workers who literally "deliver the goods." socks, mitts, scarves, slippers, sweaters, pyjamas, bed jackets, pneumonia jackets, seamen‘s stockings, jand clothing for boys and girls are included in the display. The quality of these articles is as imâ€" ~pressive as the number turned out each month. Each month the local Red Cross has reached its quota.
