Scope and content
Advertisement placed on souvenir freestanding door. The P.N.N.A. was holding its annual meeting on December 7, 1925, at the Hotel Winthrop. A claim that Tacoma was the "Door City" was cleverly attached to a miniature souvenir freestanding door; along with a photograph or painting of Mount Tacoma (Rainier), it welcomed all to "America's Greatest Mountain Playground." Western newspapermen were presented with these souvenirs made by Wheeler-Osgood Co., both as a reminder that Tacoma was considered the world's greatest doormaking city and also the doorway to Mount Tacoma (Rainier). Wheeler-Osgood had recently manufactured its 2,000,000th door and also set a probable world record of 12,347 doors produced in one day. (TNT 12-2-25, p. 1-article; TNT 12-7-25, p. 3)
