Scope and content
Diane Bartleson posed on January 14, 1970 for an early publicity picture to advertise the Tacoma Home Show which was scheduled to be held at the Puget Sound Fieldhouse in the spring. She is surrounded by bathroom fixtures from "Bathroom Elegance" by Allison. Mrs. Bartleson was the first 2-time holder of the Tacoma Home Show title; as Diane Marshall, she was also the queen in 1965. By 1970 Diane, a 1963 Stadium High School graduate, was married with a son, Davy. The six-day annual exhibition of new home trends, including 150 displays, was to be held March 31- April 5, 1970. Consumers were urged to "spring into the Seventies" by viewing products and features especially geared toward the new decade. (Photograph ordered by the Home Builders Association of Greater Tacoma.)
