£83 from a Population of 558.A LIFE-BOAT worker who lives in the village of Shuttleworth, near Ramsbottom, in Lancashire, held a Life-boat Bazaar on 8th May. Her party consisted of herself, her two daughters and five working girls. The majority of the goods were made by the eight workers themselves, who went round the village beforehand taking orders for them, with the result that a great many of thegoods were already sold before the Bazaar opened, and it was not long before everything was sold out. The sum raised by the Bazaar was £80.

That is to say, on an average £10 was obtained by each worker, and, as the population of Shuttleworth is only 558, and the majority of those who made purchases were villagers, this £80 represents nearly 3s. a head of the population !.
