Harry Thessen, left, and Charles "Mac" MacLaughlin of the Tacoma Gas and Fuel Company stood beside their company service cars in July of 1926. The men posed for a set of photographs for an advertising campaign emphasizing the company's service. Harry had been with the company for ten years and served the southend of Tacoma as well as American Lake, Fircrest, Camp Lewis and Dupont. Mac had five years with the company and served the north end of Tacoma. The pair installed new meters, investigated leaks and gas appliance problems and performed service calls. Tacoma Gas and Fuel Company sold coal gas which it produced in its plant on Tacoma's tideflats. (WSHS) (TNT 7/29/1926, pg. 18-advertisement)
