The Evangelical Headquarters Dining Hall was a fundraiser for the Evangelical Hospital and Deaconess Home in St. Paul. This Hospital became the West Side General Hospital. The aprons were donated by the Washburn -Crosby Mill. Rev. J. M. Baitinger, President of the hospital in his newsletter the "LifeLine", December 1914, thanked the Washburn-Crosby people saying, "the apron catches the eye and the gold metal flour satisfies their stomachs. We want to thank the Washburn-Crosby people for furnishing us with these beautiful caps and aprons, neatly and artistically made."
