1972 Souvenir Journal Purple Cross Nurses Division ... August - 1972 Chase Park Plaza Hotel St. Louis, Missouri

n.p., 1972. Paperback. Very Good. (178) unnumbered pages. Softcover in original wrapper. 28 cm. Minor cover soil. A few pages about the program, etc. but most of the content is congratulatory adertisements by individuals, businesses and local chapters. We found no listing for anything by the Purple Cross Nurses in OCLC but did locate a listing for a copy of this program at the Library of Virginia in an archive of material from a local chapter of the I. B. P. O. E. of W. We don't know exactly what the Health Department and the Purple Cross Nurses did or what training the Purple Cross Nurses may have had. A minority of the women pictured in this volume (truncated) are wearing traditional nurses' uniform. The printed welcome from the Grand Directress of the Purple Cross Nurses identifies this at their seventh [annual] program with the first being held in 1965. (Inventory #: 92551)
