Scope and content
On October 8, 1923 twelve employees of L. Schoenfeld & Sons, wearing snowy white coveralls, lined up outside the building at 1012 A Street that Schoenfeld's used for shipping and packing. The men were specialists in installing stoves and furnaces. The white uniforms were chosen specifically for their sharp, smart appearance and to make employees more thorough and take more pride in their work. The Schoenfeld shipping office was across the street from the Price McDonald Co., 1015 A Street. Schoenfeld's, a home furnishings store, was one of the oldest businesses in Tacoma. It would move to the Sandburg building at 1423 Pacific Avenue in April of 1924 and remain there until November of 1996 when it closed permanently. G35.1-007 (Tacoma Sunday Ledger, 10-28-23, 8-E)
