Scope and content
The poster boys for "service with a smile" in a July 1926 Tacoma Gas and Fuel Co. advertisement were Charles "Mac" MacLaughlin, left, and Harry Thessen. Mac had been with the company five years and served North Tacoma. Harry, with ten years with the company, served the south end of Tacoma, American Lake, Fircrest, Camp Lewis and Dupont. The busy pair installed meters and investigated leaks and gas appliance problems and performed service calls. (filed with Argentum) (TNT 7/29/1926, pg. 18-advertisement)
