Scope and content
In October of 1941, the Puget Sound Plywood Inc. plant on the Tideflats was in the early stages of construction. This photograph shows the huge "Bowstring ring connected wood trusses" that will support the roof. The trusses were manufactured by Timber Structures Inc. of Portland. They were supplied to the plant by Northwest Bolt & Nut Co. of Seattle. The new plywood plant was a cooperative, the first in Tacoma. (TNT 7/1/1942, pg. 15)
