Scope and content
In this photograph from October 1946 for the Douglas Fir Plywood Association, a young woman on a step ladder, Shirley (Mrs. C.E.) Magarity, measures a large cross section of a log that is almost 13 feet in diameter. It used to stand outside the Northwest Door Company at 1203 East D St. when Herman E. Tenzler was president of the company. You can still see this section of a giant Douglas Fir standing by the entrance to the Lakewood Branch of the Pierce County Library system. It was moved there in 1965. (TNT 8/21/1946)
