Scope and content
Bremerton businessmen Kenneth R. Crawford, right, and John R. (Jack) Jones were often mistaken for one another. Mr. Crawford, the proprietor of Crawford's Radio Shop, was photographed trying sell his "twin" a radio, while Mr. Jones, credit manager for Kaufman-Leonard Co., was trying the same feat. Mr. Jones was born in Wales. He lived in Aberdeen for six years before transferring to Bremerton in 1933. Mr. Crawford was born in Illinois. He opened his store in Bremerton in 1931 and it had grown from 2 employees to 19. The two men built a strong friendship from the recurrent cases of mistaken identity.
