Easter Seal Sales Help the Handicapped

Image

Matt Esser is learning how to weave under Mrs. Mina Dutton's direction. Mrs. Dutton is one of the instructors at the Wisconsin Homecraft Training center, maintained for severely handicaped adults in Dane county at the Madison Vocational school. Buying Easter seals makes it possible for hand-made articles to be marketed at the Homecraft shop at Baron's department store. Homecrafters receive 10 per cent of the profit from all sales of their work.
