Scope and content
Employees and their families smile for the camera in this publicity picture for the Grand Opening of Western Builders at 1702 6th Ave. Western Builders was a roofing, siding and insulation company owned by Fred Wilvers and G.W. Thompson. Western was the exclusive franchised applicator for Johns-Manville blown rock wool insulation. This picture was captured at what the ad claims was an "informal party." The group appears to be posed in the company's warehouse. (TNT 4/23/1950, pg. C 15- ad)
