Scope and content
In October of 1938, the "Red Pig" on the Tacoma-Seattle highway one-half-mile past Fife, a "smart dining spot," was under the new management of Joe Fox and his sister-in-law Bernice Fox. Bernice and Joe were photographed working behind the lunch counter. The restaurant had been refitted and redecorated, and the menu had undergone an overhaul, emphasizing variety and quality.The roadside diner featured steak, chicken, and hamburgers. Previous owner Earl Smith had opened the restaurant in May of 1937. (T. Times, 10/26/1938, p. 7). (Corrected identification provided by a reader)
