Scope and content
On a warm July day in 1952, L. Evert Landon, the president of Nalley's Inc., stepped out of the Nalley's sales office at 32nd and Lawrence to view a demonstration of the awesome starting power of a Nic-o-Ray battery. Two unidentified representatives of the Nic-o-Ray Battery Company, 112 So. 23rd, proved that their battery, even if embedded in a block of ice, could start a delivery van. The Nic-o-Ray Battery Company, in Tacoma, was started by Gerald W. Larson and Albert O. Brand, and was in business at the same address for almost 40 years.
