Scope and content
The Seattle-Tacoma Shipyard kicked off its fund raiser for the Red Cross emergency war fund on January 19, 1942. Three unidentified employees were quick to purchase Red Cross buttons from the two vivacious volunteers, Genieve Hyde and Marian Blake, stationed in a temporary booth. The yard's fund goal was $10,000. Ordered by Keel Magazine. (TNT 1/21/1942, pg. 3; T. Times 1/21/1942, pg. 3)
