Scope and content
Japanese window display at telephone company. Dainty Japanese dolls, delicate tea cups and lacquered miniature geta fill the window display of the Pacific Telephone Co. on St. Helens Ave. on April 21, 1960. The two photographs attached to the pegboard reflect two contrasting mountains - Mt. Fuji and Mt. Rainier. The small figurines on the right appear to be chosen to minic a pair of American children. The two small telephones on each side of the display are there to perhaps advise that distance can be eliminated and cultures learned by the use of communication. A tiny sign says "Hello Kokura;" Kokura was Tacoma's sister city in Japan.
