A LITTLE LAND

COLO WAVES, WAHJI HEABTi. 



They should go together at 

 the thought of thousands of 

 women and children in our 

 city, shivering, hungry, sick, 

 through no fault of their own. 



They are sent to us by 

 teachers, doctors, churches, city 

 officials, neighbors. 



An instance: " I am an iron- 

 worker laid off two months ago. 

 My wife is sick; there has not 

 been a crumb in our house for 

 two days. I can't bear to go 

 home." 



We relieve suffering at once 

 and then try to get people on 

 their feet. 



$20,000 are urgently needed 

 for food, coal, rent, clothes, 

 bedding, medicine. We have 

 over 2,000 families in charge 

 to-day.

This storm means suffering 

 which will last for days. 



You would cheerfully help 

 to get a fallen horse upon his 

 feet. Will you do as much for 

 a man? 



Many in our city have heavy 

 burdens and a very insecure 

 footing. An accident, tempo- 

 rary loss of work, brings quick 

 suffering to dependent women 

 and children. We know over 

 2,500 such families to-day. Will 

 you help relieve at least one; 

 details if desired? $20,000 ur- 

 gently needed. Send $1.00, 

 $5.00, $10.00, $50.00, $100.00, 

 and let us tell you what it does, 

 to R. S. Minturn, Treas., Room 

 210, No. 105 East 22d St.

These two advertisements, which have recently 

 been appearing in the New York papers, are ap- 

 pealing on behalf of people who would not be a 

 burden on the public at large who would not 

 lose their own self-respect, if they would remain 

 on or return to the land.
