Scope and content
The C.E. MacDonald Co. of Tacoma had a large display of overstuffed davenports and chairs at the fifth annual Northwest Furniture Manufacturing Exposition held from July 26-31, 1926. Sofas in a wide variety of materials and prints were spread out over the exhibition floor. In many cases, the chairs and sofas were upholstered in the same colors and material. The company, manufacturers and wholesalers of upholstered furniture, was located at 2121 South Tacoma Way in a "furniture row" next to Northwest Chair and Gregory Furniture plants. They were one of the 50 furniture manufacturers from Portland to Seattle who displayed their lines of furniture for the benefit of 2000 furniture dealers. The exhibition, held at the Balfour-Guthrie dock, had the advantage of locating all exhibits on a single floor. It was not open to the public. G35.1-011 (Tacoma Sunday Ledger, 7-25-26, 4-A-article)
