Scope and content
Photographers capturing on film the grand champion rooster, a Rhode Island Red, with his winning ribbons at the poultry show. Turner Richards and his crew pose with large format cameras and new camera equipment surrounding the cock. (See D9151-1a for the finished photo.) The 45th annual show, sponsored by the Tacoma Poultry Association and the Rhode Island Red Club of America, had 500 entries, 265 of them Rhode Island Reds. The birds were judged by type, shape, color, undercolor and stance, as well as other standards. The owner of the winning cockerel was Mrs. Charles F. Cummings of Rancho de Las Plumas Coloradas of La Canada, California. (T. Times 12/1/39, pg. 5; 11/27/1939, pg. 5).
