Scope and content
An unidentified group of men and women stand in front of the Pennsylvania Salt Manufacturing Company of Washington's Tacoma plant on August 8, 1950. They are there to celebrate the centennial of the founding of its parent firm. Pennsalt opened its doors in Pennsylvania in 1850 with household lye as its first profitable product. Pennsalt does not produce any common or table salt but does manufacture basic chemicals from salt. (TNT 8-6-50, p. A-9)
