Description

The Moslah Temple Shriners are holding a war savings auction in downtown Fort Worth, Texas. In attendance, left to right, are Marshall A. Fuller and H. A. Lawrence. Mr. Fuller is president of First National Bank. He was turned into a "street sweeper" after a $300,000 war bond bid. He is dressed in a hat and a double breasted, pinstripe suit, and is holding a push broom. Shaking the bank president's hand is Mr. Lawrence. He is the past potentate of the Shriners and made the high bid at the auction. Mr. Lawrence is dressed in a Shriners' fez and a double breasted suit.
