Scope and content
Three volunteer seamstresses are busy refurbishing coats and dresses in one of a series of Tacoma's citizens at work. Mrs. Nola Thralls is seated at an old-fashioned sewing machine while Mrs. Winifred Pence and Mrs. Frances Usselman are examining clothing to be repaired. The three women help at the Eastside Multi-Service Center; Mrs. Usselman is also the president of the board of directors at the center. This photograph ran in the April 13, 1968, News Tribune to illustrate how newly new clothing for adults, remodeled and refurbished, could be found at the Eastside center; Mrs. Thralls and Mrs. Pence were apparently active in senior citizens activities there. Photograph ordered by the Tacoma-Pierce County Economic Opportunity. (TNT 4-13-68, p. 6)
