Tacoma Sash and Door Company was started in 1918, when H. E. Emmons and L. M. Hampton found themselves with a car load of extra doors, they decided to begin selling them. These two businessmen soon started manufacturing and selling sash and window frames and additional doors. Their products are made with lumber from local lumber mills. This view of an unidentified Tacoma Sash & Door Co. employee bundling building materials with a banding machine was taken in early December of 1948. The cart behind him held the metal banding and the tool he is holding is used to tighten the banding. (Additional information provided by a reader)
