Actress Lana Turner sells War Bonds at the dedication of the new Liberty Center, South 10th Street between "A" and Pacific. 22 at the time of her visit to Tacoma, she had already made many appearances in films, including Adventures of Marco Polo, Love Finds Andy Hardy, and Johnny Eager. During the war, she participated in successful railroad tours to sell war bonds and wrote her own speeches. The MGM star personally autographed bond applications made during the noon dedication ceremony. A big kiss was promised to some of the extra large purchasers of bonds.
