Army Base Seeks Households for Unprecedented Wool Blanket Sale
The Army Base in South Boston issues a call to house wives to buy 75 percent wool blankets at $3 each. Despite efforts to sell to wholesalers for public resale at higher prices, officials insist on limiting sales to those with limited means. The sale will continue for several days and may extend until all blankets are sold at the fixed price. A former influential political figure died at Rhode Island Hospital at age 48 after a brief illness. He had served as State Senator and ran unsuccessfully for lieutenant governor and mayor, and was a Mason.
