Scope and content
In the early morning hours of December 5, 1948, an unidentified press operator watches as the first ever Sunday issue of the Tacoma Times rolls through the giant 125-ton Goss Octuple press. The Times started as a small publication on December 21, 1903, but it had never published a Sunday edition. Less then four months after this photograph was published, on March 31, 1949, the Times went out of business and Tacoma became a one newspaper town. (T.Times, 12/5/1948, p.1) For Times, Buzz TPL-4544.
