Scope and content
Interior of the warehouse at Western Drug Supply at 3908 6th Ave. A roller conveyor belt circles around a Series 50 IBM model that appears to be printing orders. The orders go into the cardboard boxes and on down the belt to be filled. Many potted plants and flowers with cards attached have been sent to celebrate the warehouse's grand opening. This warehouse is the fifth in the firm's chain. Other distribution centers are located in Seattle, Spokane, Eugene and Sacramento. The warehouse supplies drugs to pharmacies. This location will serve Tacoma, Bremerton and all of southwest Washington. (TNT 8/5/1959, pg C-16, 9/27/1959, pg. B-5)
