L'italia
March 13-14, 1897
Benefit Society.
Dr. Lagorio, Giovanni Raggio, D. Coda, Andrea Russo and C. B. Chiappe have incorporated a new society called the "Italian Benefit Society." The purpose of this society is to collect funds to maintain the home for the Italian poor that Mr. Garibaldi will build.
A meeting will take place tomorrow evening at 6:30 P. M. at 82 W. Madison St. concerning the society. The Italians of the Colony are invited to attend. Anyone who wishes to join the society are welcome by paying a dollar membership fee. Every good-hearted Italian who loves his native land dearly will answer to the patriotic call.
Mr. Garibaldi will provide the home furnished, and the Colony should do their best in providing for the expenses.
