Scope and content
Two weeks in October of 1942 were set aside for the fund raising campaign for Tacoma's War Chest, a branch of the Community Chest that funded war related charities. Busy War Chest volunteer Alice McFadon was photographed in the back room of the Tacoma Engraving Company, where she talked to artist Rex Pierce about his donation. Mrs. McFadon was in the middle of her day, walking from door to door soliciting donation pledges. Tacoma Engraving specialized in photo engravings, commercial art and illustrating.
