Scope and content
Father Time Has a New Face. Mrs. Betty Overland, clerk in the Fine Arts department of the Tacoma Public Library, stands on a ladder next to a wall clock placed high above book stacks. This photograph was included in a special section of the October 31, 1952 News Tribune filled with articles and photographs of the new Main Library. The clock shown above was embedded in the wall with stainless steel rectangles and triangles appearing as its "numerals." It, and other clocks, was an example of modern features now prevalent throughout the new structure. (TNT 10-31-1952, C-2)
