Tacoma-Pierce County blood bank. An individual gives a blood donation, while a blood pressure cuff records any pressure changes. The blood drains by tubing into a bottle. A blood donation could be given quickly, easily and painlessly and the drawing blood process only took 6 minutes. Human blood cannot be manufactured, it must come from donations. The Blood Bank was celebrating its 10th anniversary. The bank was the supplier of blood to all Pierce County hospitals. (TNT 7/22/1956, pg B-4+)
