CENTRAL EAIR,
Philadelphia, 1307 Chestnut Stream
February 20,1864,
The undersigned, members of the Executive
Committee of the GREAT CENTRAL FAIR for
the Sanitary Commission, beg to invite the co-ope
ration of all their fellow-citizens, especially of
those resident in Pennsylvania, Delaware and
New Jersey, in this important enterprise. It is
proposed to hold the Fair in Philadelphia, in the
FIRST WEEK IN .TUNE NEXT, and it is con
fidently expected that the contributions coming
from a popula ion so benevolent and patriotic as
that which inhabits the Central States, and repre
senting the most important and varied branches of
industry and art, will secure a result in aid oi the
funds of the Commission, and for tho benefit of
the Soldier, at least eqnal to that which has at
tended sin ilar undertakings in other cities. It
is not necessary to say a word to stimulate sym
pathy: for. the soldier. We feel for them all as
brelhren, and the popular heart seeks only the
best mode ,of manifesting that sympathy in the
most efficient end practical way. These fairs in
other places have been productive of great results.
By this means Chicago has recently raised for this
object 860,000, Boston 8150,000. and Cincinnati
more thf.n 8200, (KHL We appeal, then, with the
greatest confidence to the inhabitants of the Cen
tral States, especially to those who constitute the
great industrial classes, to send as contributions
the productions of their skill and workmanship.
We appeal to them in the interest of no party,
radical or conservative, Republican or Democratic,
Administration or anti-Administration. We know
only this, that to send our national soldiers in the
field supplies to supplement those Goverment un
denakes to give them, but which they sometimes
fail to receive, and thus to relieve them when sick
and in misery, is a work of Christian charity, and
that it is a work of intelligent patriotism also, as
economizing their life, hehlth and efficiency, on
which, under God, the nation depends in this its
time ot trouble.
We therefore ask every clergyman to announce
this humane undertaking to his people, and to ad
vise them to do what they can to further it. We
ask the press to give it the widest publicity and the
most earnest encouragement. We call on every
workshop, factory and mill for a specimen of the
best thing it can turnout; on every artist, great
and small, for one of his creations ; on all loyal
women, for the exercise of their taste and indus
try ; on farmere, for the products of their fields
and dairies. The miner, the naturalist, the man
of science, the traveler, can each send something
that can at the very least be converted into a
blanket that wiU warm, and may save from death,
some one soldier whom government supplies have
failed to reach. Every one who can produce any
hing that has money value is inTiled to given
sample of his best work as an offering to the cause
of national unity. Every workingman, mechanic
or farmer, who can make a pair of shoes or raiie a
barrel ol apples, Is called on to contribute some
thing that can be turned, into money, and again
from money Into the means of economizing the
health and the life of our national soldiers.
Committees have been appointed in each depart
ment of industry and art, whose business it will
he to solicit contributions for - the Fair, each in its
own special branch. 7 hese Committees will place
themselves in eommuniaation with those persons
who may wish to aid us. In the meantime It Is
recommended thatiocal committees or associations
should be formed in every portion of Pennsylva
nia, Delaware and New Jersey, with a view ol
organising -the industry of their respective neigh
borhoods, so as to secure contributions for the
Fair.
Committees of Ladies have also been organized
to co operate with those of the gentlemen in soli
citing contributions.
A list of all these Committees will be shortly
published and distributed. In the meantime those
who'are disposed to aid us, or who may desire any
further information on the subject, are requested
to address CHARLES J. STILLE, Corresponding
Secretary < f the ExecutiTe Committee of the Great
Central Fair, 1307 CHESTNUT Street.
