Veterans Surplus Store Opens In St Louis For World War II Vets
An over the counter surplus store for World War II veterans opens in St Louis at 8900 S Broadway. It is the third such shop opened by the WAA using stock from seven nearby states, offering bargains on blankets, sheets, beds, and gear to honorably discharged veterans with proof of service. The Illinois Veterans Commission announces December January February deadlines for GI insurance reinstatement by February 1, naturalization by December 31 for alien veterans, and February 10 for certain survivors social security benefits, with A W Dietrich as service officer at the Court House in Salem Centralia and Hoffman Building.
