Scope and content
The driver of a Holroyd Company truck halfway emerges from his vehicle to look back at the shovel scooping up gravel. The gravel will then be loaded onto the truck's bed. The photograph was taken on September 5, 1951, in the gravel bunker at the Lakeview pit. The Holroyd Company manufactured concrete blocks, bricks and other types of building materials. The Holroyd Company was founded by Arthur Holroyd who came to Tacoma before 1890, and began dealing in gravel and other building materials in 1906.
