Scope and content
Mannequins appear to be peering through the shop windows of Lyon's Apparel in this March 1953 photograph. In September of 1952, Lyon's Ladies Apparel at 1151 Broadway was completely destroyed by fire. Six months later, on March 5, 1953, Mr. & Mrs. Herman Lehrer welcomed Tacoma to their newly rebuilt, redecorated Lyon's at the same address. Lyon's carried nationally advertised labels in ladies' sportwear and ready-to-wear apparel. They specialized in extra large and extra small sizes. "Joan Marie" sweaters were on sale for $3.95 (Slip-ons) and $5.95 (Cardigans) in the sweater bar section of the store. Photograph ordered by Fairchild Publications. (TNT 3-4-53, B-2)
