Scope and content
Friends and family gathered to celebrate the Golden Wedding anniversary of George G. and Alice S. Franklin, Sr. on September 13, 1958. Two ladies are pictured at the Franklin residence apparently signing the guest book. George Franklin had been the owner of Franklin Food Stores, a five-store chain in Tacoma. He and his wife had previously resided at 425 Tacoma Avenue North in the Stadium District; their house had won the Tacoma Times House Beautiful contest in 1947. The Franklins decided to have a re-marriage ceremony, fifty years after their first wedding in El Paso, Texas. They have been Tacoma residents for 22 years. Sepia photograph ordered by George G. Franklin, Sr. (TNT 9-16-58, p. 14)
