In November of 1948, Mary Rowland (left) and Cathey McCoun went to the main Tacoma post office in the Federal Building at 1102 A St. to buy the newly issued Juliette Gordon Low commemorative stamps. The stamp was the first ever issued honoring the founder of the Girl Scouts. Postal clerk Rodney E. Gadd showed Cathey a full sheet of stamps with Julliette Low's portrait and the caption "Founder of the Girl Scouts" . (T. Times, 11/16/48, p. 7).
