Charlie Merchant and Gene Robinson of Cooney Transfer & Storage Co. receive help from City Garbage Department employee John Sankovich in moving a piano off their truck at the City dump in late March of 1937. Side view of truck shows company's advertisement. This once-elegant and expensive piano was being discarded by Clinton's Music House in Tacoma due to its worn-out and dilapidated condition. The Music House's owner, Myron Clinton, deemed its state too poor to be refurbished and refused to sell it unrepaired. (T. Times 3-30-37, p. 14-article & alternate photograph) .
