Scope and content
ca. 1940. A traveler, apparently from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, poses in downtown Tacoma near the Peerless Grill, 916-20 Pacific Ave., circa 1940. A small sign is attached to his military bag - "From Phila.Pa. Around the World America First." The "America First" portion of the sign may refer to the then growing anti-war pressure group that sought to prevent the United States' entry into the Second World War. The smiling man is wearing Calvary boots, doughboy hat and coat probably dating back to WWI. TPL-6632
