Cravats For Cash For Charity - A Glimpse into Portland's Home Front during World War II
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this print captured on February 1,1945, we are transported back in time to witness a heartwarming scene at the Marine Electric Company in Portland, Oregon. The employees of this company have come together for a noble cause - trading their stylish cravats for cash donations in support of the March of Dimes fund. As the nation was embroiled in World War II, communities across America rallied behind charitable initiatives to aid those affected by the war. This vintage image serves as a poignant reminder of how ordinary citizens played an active role on the home front. The photograph showcases individuals from diverse backgrounds united under one roof. With determination etched on their faces, these men eagerly participate in this fundraising event until an unexpected twist occurs – the president of the company runs out of his own ties! Nevertheless, it is evident that his gesture inspires others to follow suit. This historic snapshot not only captures a moment frozen in time but also reflects American resilience and compassion during challenging times. It symbolizes unity and selflessness as people put aside personal belongings for a greater cause. Thanks to Underwood Archives/Glickman from Universal Images Group (UIG), we can now revisit this remarkable chapter from our past. Let us cherish such glimpses into history that remind us of our capacity to make positive change even amidst adversity.
