Aerial view of Hooker Chemicals Plant on the tideflats. A recent merger brought Hooker Electrochemical Company of Tacoma and Niagara Falls, New York and the Detrex Corporation of Detroit, Michigan together, bringing a new company in the chemical industry to Tacoma. The Hooker-Dextrex plant can be seen towards the the top of the image (north), just lower left of the ship yard's water tower. Hooker companies were spread throughout 47 acres in Tacoma (T. Times, 2/26/1947 3B).
