Scope and content
Caught up in the spirit, Tacoma bus drivers pose in their Jubilee hats. One driver, standing row third from left, wears his coin collector box around his neck; others have them attached to their belts. The hats were sold to boost the celebration of Washington's 50th anniversary of statehood. They were very popular, over 25,000 hats were sold; that's approximately 1 of every 5 Tacomans. Names on the reverse side of the photograph, in no particular order, are Max Wilson, Duke Kraft, E. Guiley, Gill, David Webb, Russell Smith and Haakenson.
