Scope and content
In December of 1942, the members of the Tacoma and Pierce County League of Garden Clubs gathered together to make corsages as a fund raiser for the 13th & Fawcett USO Club. Their special helper was Tacoma Mayor Harry Cain, center. The corsages were made of cones, greens and War Stamps. They would be on sale in area department stores and banks. All revenue raised would go to improve the grounds at the USO Club. Names in article. (T. Times 12/15/1942, pg. 2)
