Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Life and Light for Woman, Vol. 52: January, 1922 "Double Your Dollar" - "Double Your Dollar!" Everywhere Mrs. Marsden went the slogan rang out. Now across the Boulevard in darning red letters, now emblazoned on the side of the trolley car, now shrieking itself from each utterance of the eager campaigners. The drive was on for Carruth College, the Rockefeller Fund having guaranteed to duplicate every cent raised elsewhere. "Double your dollar," sniffed Mrs. Marsden, "my eyes fairly ache with their saucy signs - ." She couldn´t bear Carruth since a football accident there had killed her only son who was preparing for the mission field. "Who cares about doubling their old dollars? If I could double myself now´, have twice as much time and twice as much strength, that would be worth talking about. ´Twould be like the man with two talents making them four, and the man with five getting up to ten. Why, there are clothes to be sorted out for the home missionary box and the cake made for the reception to the new pastor, and my paper that must he written for Tuesday´s auxiliary meeting - I can´t begin to make one pair of arms meet round it all! If only there were two of me or a half a dozen of me, just think how much I might do for our church and our missionary family and the Woman´s Board." Smiling whimsically at her own fancy, she snatched up her tiny Angora kitten and threw´ herself on the couch by the fire. Yes, she was tired - tired of trying to do everything all at once and accomplishing next to nothing anyway. Besides, she was all too conscious that it was the eve of her fiftieth birthday.
