Scope and content
As the Second War Loan Drive picked up steam at the Tacoma yard of the Seattle-Tacoma Shipbuilding Corp. mid April of 1943, employees pledged more of their salaries and purchased additional bonds. The War Bond department staff worked hard to keep pace. Pictured left to right are Anson Hart, department manager, Grace Giel, Margaret Cobb and Marion Marshall. These assistants, plus others, typed thousands of bonds each week. The sales by mid April totalled $379, 519, a new company record. (T. Times 4/20/1943, pg. 10)
