Crowd gathers outside Benson's Furniture at 1408 So. K Street waiting for the doors to open on July 20, 1949. Benson's had advertised an emergency sale at their two Tacoma locations to relieve overcrowding at their warehouse. The other Benson's was located in South Tacoma at 5032 South Tacoma Way. Shoppers were able to examine some of the sale merchandise including a row of stuffed armchairs and a pile of mattresses placed outside the store.
