Scope and content
ca. 1958. Richardson's was located next door to Helene's at the Villa Plaza Shopping Center. Both stores featured women's clothing with Helene's advertised as the "Only Dress Shop in the Villa Plaza" and Richardson's specializing exclusively in sportswear for casual living. Richardson's had two stores in the local area, the store at the Villa Plaza and the other at 940 Commerce St. in downtown Tacoma. The Villa Plaza store, under the management of Mrs. Karl Richardson, opened in late 1957. (TNT ad 12-4-58, C-10- no photograph; TNT 8-6-58, B-10-ad for Helene's; TNT 12-5-57, B-5-article)
