Scope and content
Exterior of Miller and Miller labels building at 40th and Pacific Avenue as viewed on July 12, 1940. They were commercial printers who had moved to this location in June of 1938. Miller and Miller had outgrown their quarters on South 10th St., in the shadow of the totem pole, and decided to move to the newer and larger building at 4006 Pacific Avenue. The 50' X 85' brick and concrete structure had skylights and many windows. Miller and Miller was owned by three brothers: Harmon, Russell and Frank Miller and employed 17 workers. Besides the creation, manufacture and printing of labels of all sizes, Miller and Miller also dealt with display banners and counter and window displays. (TNT 6-19-1938, A-12-article)
