Scope and content
The Washington State Restaurant Assn. held their annual luncheon at the Elks Club on October 15, 1958. The meal was prepared entirely by Chef James Osenton's class at the Tacoma Voctional School and served by the waitresses of Local #61. Names of those pictured can be found in the News Tribune's October 16, 1958, issue. October was deemed National Restaurant Month; the Washington State Restaurant Assn. traditionally had offered a free meal to the city's leaders to demonstrate the importance of restaurants to the area's economy. Over 500 Chamber of Commerce and civic leaders attended. (TNT 10-5-58, B-3; TNT 10-9-58, C-5; TNT 10-16-58, p. 23)
