Scope and content
Four members of the College of Puget Sound Minute Maids, under the direction of Kay Woods, pose in a jeep during the city wide bond rally April 24, 1943 at the Liberty Center. They are at the rally to sell war stamps and convert stamp albums into "Avenge Tokyo Raiders' Bonds." For purchasing a series E bond ($18.75 and up), a citizen got a free ride in a jeep. For the purchase of a $1,000 bond, one could have any name (except that of a commercial organization) painted on a jeep. (TNT 4/23/1943, pg. 1; TNT 4/25/43, pg. 1)
