Scope and content
On a wet May evening in 1962, members of the Chamber of Commerce publicity and visitors committee posed with a Japanese delegation at the Totem Boat Haven. The Japanese women are wearing traditional kimonos, tabi and getas. All six women represented the Japanese village at the Seattle World's Fair. Two of them were professional pearl divers and the other four, beauty queens who had acted as hostesses in the village. The guests were to visit the County-City Building, downtown banks, Ft Lewis and McChord AFB, among other stops. Photograph ordered by Puget Sound National Bank. (TNT 5-24-62, D-1, 5-25-62, p. 8)
