Scope and content
Photograph ordered by the National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis. Hal D. Murtland, the man on left, carries a bank bag labelled Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco. It contains the money collected from March of Dimes wishing wells. Pete Rettura, the postman on right, carries a mailbag, as well as bundled mail. His load is much heavier this week as the March of Dimes coin cards are being returned in the mail. The first three days of the campaign, which opened January 4th, brought over $2,000 in Pierce County contributions. The pair stand in front of the office door for the Pierce County Chapter of the Foundation, 427-28 in the Security Building. (TNT 1/7/1954, pg. A-7)
