This flyer from the Brooklyn Division of the American Red Cross follows the 1906 San Francisco earthquake and includes an appeal from President Roosevelt. He implores all Americans to channel their charitable urges towards the Red Cross because they are more capable of helping victims of the earthquake than other organizations. Governor Higgins of New York adds a similar appeal.
