National Aidwork for War Orphans. The little orphan's flower will organise, in Brussels and suburbs on Sunday, June 24, 1917 a sale of flowers in aid of the Greater Brussels Committee of the National Aidwork for War Orphans. The little flower will be sold for at least 10 Belgian centimes. All owners of flower bushes, however small, are urgently asked to donate their harvest of flowers of one day to the aidwork. Supplies will be gratefully received at the office of the Committee: 55, Liefdadigheidstraat. Cards that give dispensation from the requests of collectors will be for sale for 5, 3 and 1.25 Belgian Francs. These give entitlement to a medallion of the little orphan- flower, which will be supplied at the office from June the 26th onwards, every day from 10 am until midday. J.-E. Goossens Printworks Co.
