Scope and content
The new Broadway Food Stores opened at 84th and South Tacoma Way on Friday August 11, 1939. The modern Art Deco building was built 38 feet back from the highway so that ample parking could be provided. General Manager Ormond Hoyt (far right) stated, "Our price policy is to check our competitors' advertised prices and make them our own... We will not be under sold". Mr. Hoyt and several of his employees stand among displays of fresh fruits and vegetables.
