The first suffrage grocery' store on record, in charge of four of the best-known best-known suifragists In New York,' opened on Broadway last week and doing a land office business. "It's a success, a glorious, inspiring success," said Miss Almee Hutchin- ; son, who rivals Miss Inez oiiinoUkhd as New York's most beautiful sui-; fragette. "The orders have been ! pouring in so fast that I haven't bad j time to fix my hair, aud we're think- ! lng of getting another cash register ." i Of course, many who come do so just to look, but few leave without making a purchase. Yesterday a curious cur-ious man dropped in with the intention inten-tion of buying a box of matches as the price of his curiosity. He left the store burdened with the matches, also with six pounds of cheese, a dozen doz-en oranges, two dozen eggs, a large bottle of olives, a package of hr fast food and three pounds of candy. "You're a wonder," he exclaimed to Miss Hutchinson admiringly. "I carne to rubber and you made mo il buy. It's a good thing you aren't sell- Hi ing white elephants here, or I'd be la leading a pair by a string." T Associated with Miss Hutchinson are Mrs. Alice Snitjer Burke, organ- ' izer of Progressive open air meetings during the last campaign, Mrs. So- JJ' phia Kremer and Mrs. Sarah Meyer. Since the store opened they have been the busiest women in New York. The profits made by the suffrage dl store will go to aid "the cause." |
