NPR : More Stores Quiet Salvation Army's Bells: "More Stores Quiet Salvation Army's Bells

Talk of the Nation, December 1, 2004 � A growing list of retail chains and property companies have banned the Salvation Army's collection cauldrons from their stores. There will be no bells at Barnes & Noble, no tinkling at Toys R Us, and no collections at Kohl's.
But it's Target's decision to do away with the tradition that's raised the most public ire. The company says it can no longer make an exception for the Salvation Army in the face of increasing requests from other groups to solicit at their locations."
