Scope and content
Four men admire a new suit outside the Lundquist-Lilly Men's Wear store on Broadway on November 13, 1961. L-R are Ralph Gilham, president, Fred Tague, Dick Nelson and Jerry Morris, department heads. The 6000 square foot clothing store replaced the Metropolitan Chain Store at that location. Tacoma architects Lea, Pearson & Richards provided designs for the remodeling with Woodard Construction Co as contractors. Lundquist-Lilly held a 7-day open house to celebrate the November opening of their new store; they had previously been located at 11th & Commerce since 1921. It was to close its doors six years later. (TNT 11-16-61, A-6, 7)
