Cooperation and the Red Cross Shop Opens in Plainfield
A newly opened Red Cross Shop in the Bathcork building drew steady crowds from dawn to dusk as proceeds fund aid for soldiers in Europe. Mrs. J. M. Charles led the committee with support from William Langer and Plainfield tradesmen whose crews transformed the old post office into a thriving salesroom. Hundreds of volunteers and contractors provided time and materials, turning the venture into a community effort benefiting the war effort and the boys in France.
