Lou Johnson, Inc., had three stores in the Tacoma area, specializing in women and misses apparel and accessories. They were owned and operated by Lucie Palmer, president. The Lakewood store in the newly expanded Lakewood Center was decorated in muted grays and accents of pink and exhibited a beautiful colonial crystal chandelier. Portions of the shop's interiors show displays of fine jewelry, lingerie, and hats. There was an uncrowded feel to the store with merchandise spread throughout the floor and plenty of walking space between them. Photograph ordered by Lou Johnson, Inc. (TNT 11-16-55, C-8)
