New Thriftco. Co-managers Jack Borell and Ray Wall, kneeling front row, lead their staff at the opening of the new Westgate Thriftco at 5739 No. 26th St. on November 11, 1969. The former Sib's Supermarket was purchased by the Klauser Corporation, operator of four other Thriftco's in the area. Both managers brought a wealth of experience to the new Thriftco. Jack Borell graduated from White River High School and Western Washington State College; he had previously been the manager of the Renton Thriftco. Ray Wall, a lifelong Tacoma resident, was a Stadium High School graduate as well as graduating from the University of Puget Sound and University of Washington. Mr. Wall had been in the grocery business for 35 years. Complete list of individuals pictured above was printed in a Thriftco advertisement in the News Tribune dated 11-17-69. Photograph ordered by the News Tribune. (TNT 11-5-69, D-13; TNT 11-17-69, p. 11)
