One thousand wounded soldiers were received at the Base Hospital 26 in Allerey, France during one day in July, 1918. Some patients await treatment on stretchers on the floor while other patients lie on stretchers stacked four high on wooden racks.
The Book Fair, like the Mount Sinai Ball, was a defining Auxiliary fundraiser. Hundreds of volunteers worked year-round on the sale. Books for the sale were donated by individuals, organizations and department stores. The sale itself was held at Southdale Mall in the public atrium.
