Funds for th building were raised through contributions from residents of the community, including serv icemen, but the larger amount of the money was from Legion activities, dances, fairs and car nivals. The building cost some S20.000 and it was necessary to carry a portion of that cost over through the years until it was finally paid off in the late 30"s through the efforts of members and various activities. Leased to a garment making plant the building has brought a nice monthly income to the Legion and furnishes a place of employ ment to a large number of local people.
