Summary

[edit]
Description
English: “POST EXCHANGE ON GUADALCANAL-- In this tented store, Marine fighters buy razor blades, soap shaving accessories, and toothpaste, all made in the U.S.A. The exchange is well stocked the day after a supply ship arrives. Word gets around quickly, and soon shelves are depleted. Business is then at a standstill until the next supply ship arrives.”

From the Thayer Soule Collection (COLL/2266) at the Archives Branch, Marine Corps History Division
