In June of 1943, four women load boxes of surgical dressings into a Red Cross paneled station wagon at the Tacoma Country Club in Lakewood. During the war, the clubhouse served several days a week as a Surgical Dressing Production Unit. Pictured left to right in their white Red Cross Production Service uniforms are Joyce (Mrs. Herbert) Syford, Mrs. Harry H. Schmalz, Nelsie (Mrs. Minot) Davis, Harriet (Mrs. William) Deering and driver Etta (Mrs. Allan H.) Moody, dressed in the Red Cross Motor Corps suit and visor cap. (T. Times 7/3/1943, pg. 4)
