TO DRAGMA OF ALPHA OMICRON PI

thropic work an unexpected bit of good fortune, truly an expres-
sion of Alpha O spirit, and an example we all should follow.

We hope that all chapters will make greater efforts in the mat-
ter of increasing magazine, stationery and Christmas card commis-
sions this year, and that more people will sign the pledge card,
appearing on another page. Do you realize that if every associate
member pledged only one dollar a year, we would have nearly four
thousand dollars f o r National W o r k ? Won't Y O U do your part
and sign the card ?

This year we are introducing a new line to sell on commission,
silk underwear. The proposition is particularly interesting
to us. The Craig Knitting Co., of Buffalo, N . Y . , an old
established firm is making special offers to organizations which
will sell their goods, using the commission f o r philanthropic
purposes. It is rather a new idea, this, of employing agents to
interest other agents who will use their commissions to aid others,
instead of as a means o f supporting themselves. The company
will give our chapters 20 per cent discount on all orders of rayon
and glove silk underwear, and a further commission on all sums
over $300.00. The first twenty per cent commission is to be
deducted by the chapter when sending the order, but the additional
bonus will be credited by the company to Alpha Omicron Pi, as
the chapter orders add up to this sum. This bonus will be paid
directly to the Grand-Vice-President, and will go into our general
fund on the same terms as individual contributions. The twenty
per cent retained by the chapter, it is understood, is to be used f o r
philanthropic purposes and not f o r general running expenses.
Whether it shall be used locally or given to the national committee
is of course for the chapters to decide. The underwear is attrac-
tive, of good quality and reasonable. Arrangements can be made
to purchase goods in small lots on part payment, so that garments
may be sold outright or on order. For f u l l information and sam-

ples, write to Mrs. Frederick Kranz, Craig Knitting Co., 153
