Scope and content
An automobile crashed into the Central Bank, at 2816 6th Ave., early in the morning on Friday August 24, 1934 tearing a hole in the brick wall. Ellis Ayr Smith and Frances Urch, employees of the bank, examine the damage. The car driven by 20 year old Charles Arwood skidded 40 feet on a slippery street, slammed into the wall of the bank and introduced "drive through" banking to Tacoma. Arwood and his passenger Dorothy Roberts both escaped without serious injury. (T. Times 8/31/1934)
