Maude (Mrs. George W.) Bowers with her rock collection. Mrs. Bowers is wearing glasses and a print dress and is holding a large crystal rock in front of a cabinet covered with numerous rock specimens. Mrs. Bowers started her "rockery" a year ago in the breakfast nook of her home at 5230 So. Puget Sound Ave. Her husband, a supply man for the Northern Pacific Railroad, brought home the first specimen. The couple now has rocks from seven states, Washington, Idaho, Montana, Missouri, Colorado, Wyoming and Utah. Mrs. Bowers shellacks the rocks for easier dusting. (T. Times 11/6/1939, pg. 3)
