Scope and content
Two men are barely visible on a ledge circling the enormous smokestack outside the West Tacoma Newsprint plant on October 20, 1954. It is unclear whether they are performing maintenance work or actually installing a new chimney. Boedecker Chimney Construction Co. built many chimneys for industrial plants in this region, including St. Regis and Bethlehem Pacific Coast Steel. View of cars parked along plant with chimney in rear. Photograph ordered by Boedecker Chimney Construction Co.
