Cincinnati A.S. Bazaar (Event)

The Anti-Slavery Sewing Circle of Cincinnati, having been successful beyond their most sanguine expectations in their efforts last fall, have resolved to hold another Bazaar the first week in October next, to be conducted upon the same principles of excluding raffling, unjust charges upon goods, and all objectionable features to Fairs, as usually held. The Society desires, most earnestly, to make this a means of great usefulness to the cause of the oppressed, and call upon all friends to aid them according to their several abilities. We beg those who last year sent us shoes, brushes of all kinds, china, tins, cabinet ware, such as small chains, towel-horses, &c, &c., combs, caps, books, hosiery, groceries , produce of all sorts, to remember that all found a ready sale and helped to give variety and solidity to the Bazaar. We wish emphatically to have it a useful one to all concerned, and anything which helps to make up the usual routine of household comfort, will be especially acceptable, as well as the most tasteful and ornamental. We all spend money somewhere. Let Abolitionists make it a principle with themselves to save and spend it here. Thus shall we operate unitedly with those who feel called more immediately to labor and sacrifice in this way. We hope our friends will bear this in mind and make their arrangements to be with us or send in their contributions. Anything left at Levi Coffin's Free Labor Produce Store, Court Street, between Main and Walnut, directed to Mrs. Andrew H. Eranst, will be gratefully acknowledged.
