cent buildings gave the chance
of a life time in securing this and many other photographs. The
demolishing of these houses, which up to three years ago were used
exclusively for purposes of prostitution, brought to view a perfect
network of bars, screens and steel doors (see heavy steel door at right of
cut) scarcely dreamed of before as existing outside of our State
Penitentiaries.]

The Only Place of
Its Kind
In Chicago

_Five Thousand and Forty Night's Lodging_ and
over Six Thousand Meals furnished to
_Homeless Women_ by the

WOMAN'S SHELTER

733-735-737 Washington Boulevard
(near Halsted)

during the year ending September 1, 1911.

Seventy per cent of these women have
been aided into _honest employment_.

A Hundred Girls

have been _Saved from Lives of Sin and given a
chance to earn a Respectable Living_.

Our Doors are Never Closed

We are in touch with every _Slum_
and _Vice District_ in the city--every
Prison and Hospital, and with
the Poorhouse at Oak Forest.

We are Non-Sectarian and Co-operative with all Reform
and Christian Works

A dozen Christian Homes and a Municipal
Lodging House care for the friendless
down-and-out man. The

Chicago Rescue Mission's
Woman's Shelter

cares for the Friendless "down-and-out"
Woman. Our Shelter is not a
"Rescue Home" in the ordinary
sense of the word, but

A Place where a Clean Bed, Food, Coffee and Clothing
may be Obtained by any Homeless Woman

not a subject for Police interference,
for One or More nights as she needs;
and where she is given Definite Aid
to Immediate Employment and assured
of shelter until she receives
her week's wages.

FIVE THOUSAND AND FORTY NIGHT'S LODGINGS
TOGETHER WITH
OVER SIX THOUSAND MEALS

have been furnished to cold, hungry,
Stranded Girls and Women this
year by Our Institution.

Seventy per Cent of These Have been Aided to Secure
Honest Employment,

but scores have been turned away
because we lacked Equipment,
Warmth, Funds, etc., to aid them.

Our Work Reaches
Every Slum and Redlight District
in the City

the Hospitals, Prisons, Poorhouses, everywhere
unfortunate women are found.

We co-operate with Churches, Missions, Employment
Bureaus, Charitable Institutions,
etc., throughout the City

Our Institution has Thirty-one Large Rooms
