Scope and content
As part of the publicity for the War Bond drive held in July of 1942 by the retail stores in Tacoma, Madlyn Piper, dressed in white and wearing a military type "overseas" cap marked "I'm Selling Stamps and Bonds," was photographed selling war bonds to Harry Satterlee, an officer of the Teamsters Union, on the roof of Sears Store. On the first day of the sale, July 1st, $21,000 worth of bonds were purchased by the members of four unions, Machinists, Retail Clerks, Cooks & Waiters and Teamsters. On the kickoff day, for 15 minutes (12-12:15p.m.) nothing was sold city wide except bonds. (T. Times 7/1/1942 p.9)
