Carstens Packing Company, American Red Cross, Mrs. Thomson. Carstens packing plant president Karl Maxwell accepts a certificate and poster from Henry Willis, chairman of the "Food" division of the current Red Cross drive. The certificate and poster represent the 100% subscription by the 475 employees of Carstens even before the campaign officially opened the following week. These individuals are standing in the meat wrapping section of Carstens with slabs of bacon and hams hanging behind them. The man at the far left is Scotty Murdock. At the far right is Daniel Mohn, foreman of the Smoked Meat Dept.(T.Times, 2/27/1948, p.7)
