Scope and content
On September 14, 1939 Tacoma Times editor Leonard Langlow, smoking a cigar, was photographed holding a copy of the last Times paper to come off the newspaper's old presses. The old press was abandoned after this run and full time printing was transferred to the new 125 ton Goss octuple press in the new Times building at 919 Market Street. The remainder of the Times' operation moved to the new building on February 10th, 1940. The Times went out of business on March 31, 1949. (T. Times 2/27/1940, pg. 7)
