Scope and content
The money men are singing a chorus at the Tacoma Club dinner hosted by S.M. Jackson on June 12, 1940. The dinner is the kick off for the 45th Annual convention of the Washington Bankers Association, held June 13th and 14th, 1940 at the Hotel Winthrop. Over 400 bankers from Washington state and national affiliates were in attendance. Third from left in the picture is J.H. Miner of Seattle, president of the state Bankers Association. To the far right are Robert M. Hanes of Winston-Salem, S.C., president of the American Bankers Association and S.M. Jackson, chairman of the board of National Bank. The major business of the convention, beyond election of officers, was to pass a resolution urging "active material aid to the Allied cause" and calling for an "aggressive program of preparedness" at home.
