Scope and content
On June 24th, 1948, Northwest Armored Car Service at 2718 Pacific Avenue had just received their first armored vehicle. They would begin operations in July. The company served Spanaway, Parkland, Midland, Lakewood, Ponder and Tacoma as mobile bank tellers, providing change in amounts up to $200 and transporting money to downtown Tacoma banks. The company provided two lock-pouch bags to their customers; only the customer and the bank would have access to the money. Northwest was fully bonded and insured. Left to right, C. E. Jack Brown and R. Gail Owen, Northwest Armored Car Service officials. (T. Times, 6/26/48, p. 2).
