EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph by Howard Hollem captures a moment in the bustling Baxter Laboratories in Glenview, Illinois during 1942. The image showcases Dorothy Cole, formerly a sculptress and designer of tiles, who has transformed her basement into a workshop for an extraordinary cause. With great dedication and craftsmanship, she tin plates needles for valves used in blood transfusion bottles prepared by Baxter Laboratories. In this snapshot of American history during World War II, we witness Dorothy's unwavering commitment to supporting the war effort. She turns her profits from this laborious task into war bonds with the noble intention of providing her young nephew with a college education. The image exudes an air of industriousness as Dorothy works meticulously amidst rows of donor bottles and medical supplies. Her contribution to healthcare is commendable, as she plays an essential role in ensuring that life-saving transfusions can take place smoothly. Through Hollem's lens, we are transported back to an era where individuals like Dorothy selflessly dedicated their skills towards serving their country. This photograph not only highlights the importance of medical equipment manufacturing but also pays tribute to those unsung heroes who worked tirelessly behind-the-scenes during wartime. As we gaze at this still image captured within the walls of Baxter Laboratories, it serves as a powerful reminder of the resilience and determination displayed by ordinary people when faced with extraordinary circumstances.
