Kettle tradition
To the editor:
A letter from Target to me states that it gave the Salvation Army nearly a year to find a fund-raising method other than kettles and bell ringers. I marvel at its audacity in requesting that a worldwide organization abandon a fund-raising method which has worked well for them since the first red kettle was hung in San Francisco in 1891.
Salvation Army bell ringers are embedded in the American consciousness along with snow and Santa.
