Scope and content
View of grocery store. Tradewell Stores had three grocery stores in the Tacoma area in the early 1950's: 6134 Motor Ave. S.W., 5605 Pacific Ave. and 3601 6th Ave. View of interior of a Tradewell grocery; at least three checkout lanes with scales, cash registers, and cigarettes under the counter. There were wide aisles so customers could shop comfortably; Tradewell also had self-service meat departments where meat was already pre-packaged and ready for purchase. Photograph taken probably in the late fall, 1951.
