File:American women in London helped the British Red Cross in its annual "drive" 10135u.tif

English: Title: American women in London helped the British Red Cross in its annual "drive" for funds by taking charge of all the work of collections on Bond St., the Fifth Avenue of London. The headquarters of the American women were in a large store at No. 16 Bond St. which was decorated with American flags and Red Cross posters. Throughout the day, the "American shop" was the mecca for thousands and it did a thriving business in little flags, souvenirs and pins. American Red Cross posters were sold to the highest bidders, and frequently fetched fabulous prices. While this central depot was disposing of its wares, the American women canvassed the famous thoroughfare from end to end, selling flags. The whole work was in charge of Mrs. George E. Short of Brooklyn
