Scope and content
A group of Tacoma Times employees in the mailing department lounge on the stacks of the last issue of the Tacoma Times to run on the old press, September 14, 1939. They are, second from left, Foreman William Bowers and, at the far right, Fred Bowers. The other two mailers are William Blauvelt and Charles Cassidy (order unknown). The mailers are the first to get newspapers as they come off the press. They cover them with prepared wrappers marked with subscribers names and addresses or address and wrap those papers to be mailed and distribute them in postal sacks. In addition, they keep current records of all subscribers and their addresses. (T. Times 2/27/1940, pg. 7)
