On April 17, 1943, the women of the Edward B. Rhodes Post American Legion Auxiliary stepped to the plate at Fisher's Department Store to do their part to raise money for the war loan drive. The national goal was to raise $13 billion. In two days, the women sold $2,525 in bonds and $209 in stamps. Pictured left to right are Lillian (Mrs. Wilfred) Burrows, Maude (Mrs. Ben) Overdahl, Maud (Mrs. Harold) Hofford and Mrs. George Allen. Mrs. Hofford stood inside a booth advertising "Buy War Stamps Here" and a poster of a woman and child with the caption, "For Their Future, Buy War Bonds."
