RED CROSS SHOP

ITS AFFAIES WOUND UP. The Eed Cross Shop, which week after week during the greater part of the war period has thrown open its dooM to the patriotic and discriminating public, has wound up its atfairs, it is hoped for good and all. Once a week this shop has been staffed and stocked by groups of lady workers from different localities in ahd around tho city, who have vied with each other in producing the best returns so that tho cause at tho heart of all concerned should benefit. That it has benefited tho figures produced yesterday by the treasurer (Mr. Thomas Bush) show. Tho brief balance-shoot shows that during the time the shop has been established the receipts have amounted to tho respectable total of .£IO,BBB Is. Out of that sum .EIfI.NJO has liecn paid aw.ny into Bed Cross and other patriotic purposes; rent has cost J!IU 10s., and general expenses ,£282 11s. 5(1., or loss than 15 per cent, on the money collected. If'the rout is included the expenses work nut to less than 3.1 per cent, of the total collected, which is considered to be n very satisfactory result.
