Scope and content
Workers at Tacoma Metal Products are busy on September 24, 1954, assembling toy metal stoves. Located at 414 Puyallup Avenue, they were well known for their "Little Chef" electric stoves with some models actually capable of baking. Many of the assembly workers were women who became adept in riveting and assembling parts, testing electrical parts, and packaging. Photograph ordered by Pacific Oerliken Co.
