On July 22, 1940, W.J. Cameron, associate of Henry Ford and commentator for the Ford Sunday Evening Hour, spoke to a capacity crowd in the Crystal Ballroom of the Winthrop Hotel on the role of industry in the preservation of democracy in this country. Pictured left to right are Leon Titus, Governor Clarence D. Martin, W.J. Cameron, Tommy Mallon, Nelson Bowe (assistant manager Ford Motor Co., Seattle branch) and W.B. Patterson, Ford's Northwest manager. Tacoma was not on Mr. Cameron's original lecture circuit, but with the combined efforts of Tacoma's Ford dealers Mallon and Titus, Mr. Cameron was entreated to fit Tacoma in between Seattle and Portland.
