Meat department manager, Mel Ingram, grasps a hanging portion of U.S.Choice beef at the new 56th and Pacific Tradewell store. The beef was hung on meat hooks in the store's coolers. Tradewell had recently opened their latest Tacoma supermarket in the city's southend. They had a self-service meat department where meat was already pre-packaged for the busy customer. Ingram was in charge of the meat department; he had been in the meat business for nineteen years and had recently specialized in self-service meats at the Lakewood Center Tradewell.
