“Old Linen Wanted”

“As unlimited quantities of clean old linen are required by the Red Cross Society to make swabs, bandages etc for the wounded the local branch of the society has decided to have an old linen week commencing on Thursday next 11 inst. It is hoped that all householders in Geelong and district will respond to this appeal ion their usual liberal manner.
