From The Indianapolis Star, Thursday, February 18, 1915: Yesterday was “Bundle Day” in Indianapolis. More than 6,000 bundles of old clothes, shoes and wearing apparel of every description were collected from homes throughout the city by more than 160 volunteers traveling in twenty-six flag bedecked automobiles and trucks of the Citizens’ Relief Committee. The response to the appeal for old clothing for the unemployed was the most generous in the city’s history according to Captain Harry M. Franklin who was in charge of the bundle collection. In response to scores of calls received at the collection center, volunteers will again be busy today going to all sections of the city to retrieve bundles that were not collected yesterday. A pile of clothing from floor to ceiling already fills the spacious clinic room of the old St. Vincent’s Hospital.
