Productive Peat THKE â€"PRESS Thrift Shop Reports Benefits At Close Of Fiscal Year When the enthusiasm of the Inâ€" fant Welfare members for the Thrift Shop and the loyalty of the Highland Park Northwestern Uniâ€" versity Settlement combine with the staunch support of the Hosâ€" pital Auxiliary, the total sum in annual profits amounts to a subâ€" stantial figure. According to Mrs. Jay Glidden, treasurer of the Thrift Shop board, gross sales for the fiscal year ending May 1 were $12,650, of which amount $1,423 went to 19 outside charities, and the three Thrift shop sponsorsâ€" Northwestern Settlement, the Hosâ€" pital Auxiliary and Infant Welâ€" fareâ€"received $1,867 each. Gross sales for this year were approximately the same as in the preceding year, but a substantial increase in shop rent, and slight increases in shop salaries raised the operating expenses, leaving less money to divide among worthy organizations and charities. This year the fourth of the proceeds usually divided among four outâ€" side charities was divided among nineteen.
