Scope and content
On the last day of January 1936, workers from McLean's, Tacoma operators of Lyon Van Lines, were busy moving new Magic Chef gas ranges into the Rialto Apartments. The apartment owners had ordered 50 of the new ranges. 34 of the crated stoves were lined up on 9th Street. The moving truck is parked on hill with its door open to the building entrance. The photograph was used in an advertisement for Washington Gas & Electric Co., promoting gas for cooking. Photograph ordered by Mr. Goff. (WSHS) (TDL 2/2/1936, pg. B-6)
