She was attired in a scarlet "mountain costume" and welcomed guests in the spirit of Mount Rainier. In the photograph she is dressed warmly in sturdy thick boots, wool hat, gloves and wrap. Hotel Winthrop manager Sam D. Atkisson is believed to be the man in the background, far right. Photograph ordered by Hotel Winthrop. G67.1-141 (TNT 5/16/1925, pg. 6)
