Scope and content
ca. 1937. Mrs. Evelyn Moser, Tacoma's woman meat cutter, posed in January of 1937 knife in hand behind a large slab of meat. At that time Mrs. Moser was one of the few, and possibly the only, female butcher in the United States. For the past 18 years, she had cut the meat at her father's Sunrise Market at 1207 Center Street. She was a renowned and highly respected meat cutter despite her dainty, small size. In addition to Mrs. Moser, both her father and brother, Frank W.Hamilton, Sr. and Jr., were butchers. (T.Times 1-28-37, p. 18-alt. photograph)
