N.Z. CLUB, CAIRO
(N.Z.E.F. Official War Correspondent.)
CAIRO, July 8. The New Zealand Club in Cairo, which was originally financed by the National Patriotic Fund Board, is now self-supporting, and all the money provided by the board has been repaid. For the past six months receipts from the sale of goods amounted to £310,976, the profits averaging £3724 a month. A reserve has been set aside for-the restoration of the building to its original condition when it ceases to be used as a club.
The policy of the club is to show a profit on tobacco, cigarettes, beer, and merchandise and a loss on meals in the men's dining-room, where thousands of meals are served daily at the lowest prices in Cairo. During the past few weeks the restaurant takings wei'e £5500, representing 80,000 meals. Other purchases include cigarettes and merchandise £8000, lounge and buffets £4500, silk stockings £6500, and hot water foottles £1500,
