Scope and content
Tacoma Gas Light Company wagon, as photographed in July of 1908 on South Tacoma Way. The building in the background is 5046-50 South Tacoma Way. Six men stand in front of the wagon. The wagon has a canvas cover on the side of which is painted a gas oven and the words, "Cook with Gas- Light with Gas." The Gas Company had an ever changing name; known as Tacoma Gas & Electric Light Co. from 1905-06, the name was shortened to Tacoma Gas Light Co. in 1907 and finally to Tacoma Gas Co. in 1910. (It was later known as the Tacoma Gas and Fuel Co. and the Washington Gas Co.)
