Scope and content
The hotel at 1407 Pacific Avenue was known as "Hotel Goodwill" in the early 1920s. The Salvation Army had a marked presence there as this photograph from February, 1922, shows. A Salvation Army officer sits with several men for some pleasant conversation. Books and newspapers were provided as well as spittoons for tobacco chawers. The Salvation Army operated the hotel where several hundred men were given free lodging and board in 1921. In 1922 the Army received their entire support from the Tacoma Community Chest.
