Scope and content
If you called the Tacoma Times in April of 1937 to place a want ad, your call would be answered by the lovely Thelma Wallace, pictured here with her telephone operator's equipment. For National Want Ad Week, the Tacoma Times ran a full page spread featuring pictures of Want Ad employees and advertisers. (WSHS) (T.Times 4/21/1937, pg. 13)
