In November of 1936, Tacoma School Superintendent E.L. Breckner presented an oversized letter of appreciation to Bettye Wilbur, the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. E.C. Wilbur of 1426 North Steel Street. A 6-A student at Grant School, Bettye was representing the Tacoma and Pierce County Tuberculosis League. The League was directing the annual sale of Christmas Seals. Supt. Breckner took this opportunity to remind the public that the seals go on the rear of the envelopes. He also thanked the League for their efforts in the prevention of tuberculosis among Tacoma and Pierce County school children through an educational program funded by the sale of seals. The glass door mail boxes in background appear to be for Tacoma School District schools. (For Lee Merrill Advertising.) (T. Times 11/26/1936)
