Scope and content
Although the Second War Loan Drive had ended the day before, Tacomans were still busy buying stamps and bonds on May 2, 1943. A rally was held at noon time at the Liberty Center. One of the big purchasers was Mrs. M. J. Hunter, pictured center, whose brother was serving in the Armed Forces. She purchased a $1,000 series "E" War Bond for her daughter Beverly Joyce Hunter, right. In recognition of the purchase, a jeep at Fort Lewis would be named the "Beverly." The pair are posed in a jeep with the name Bud Hoag stencilled on the body. Mr. Hoag was a Tacoma man who bought a $750 bond the week before. (T. Times 5/3/1943, pg. 2)
