- Description:
- A letter from a men's store in Shawnee, Oklahoma to Congressman Schwabe in Washington, D.C. requesting support to maintain their Men's and Boys Apparel Market during wartime. The merchants believe the markets are essential to the war effort as they help conserve resources such as transportation, hotel space, and fuel. They explain that the markets allow them to efficiently purchase goods from multiple manufacturers in one location, saving time and resources. The merchants emphasize the importance of the markets in helping them secure merchandise to keep their stores open and contribute to the war effort.
