Brown and Haley Candy Co. Mr. Brown & Mr. Haley with a group of salesmen. Harry L. Brown is in the center of the front row. J.C. Haley is third from left in the front row. Brown & Haley is one of the largest and oldest candy companies in the United States. Harry Brown learned the candy making art in 1902 at Tacoma confectionery Josslyn's. He opened his own retail candy shop on Broadway in 1907. It became a business partnership when his friend Jonathan Clifford Haley began selling Harry's "Oriole Chocolates." By 1914, the partnership was formal with the organization of Brown & Haley. Mr. Haley was president and chief salesman and Mr. Brown was general manager, chief candy formulator and head of manufacturing. The company owes its success to loyal and hardworking employees, a committment to producing high quality candy and the invention of the unique "English toffee" in 1923 that is now named Almond Roca. It is one of the largest selling gift confections in the US and is marketed in 30 countries on 6 continents. The company is still a family owned and run business.

ca. 1933. Interior view of the "Happy Days Here Again" Beer Parlour. This is the "Ladies' Service." In this area, women were allowed to enter and sip drinks. One woman and three men sit at the front bar counter. The white shirted and aproned waiters stand beside the rear tables where most of the ladies are seated. This would be a more genteel area of the tavern, where couples could enter together or a pair of ladies could enter without male companions. The tavern was managed by Albert H. Innocenti.

ca. 1933. Copy negative of tugboat employed as "Municipal Garbage Tug" ca. 1933. The tugboat "Wallowa" was built in Portland in 1889, and for over 40 years assisted sailboats on the Columbia River and towed log rafts and barges up and down the coast from Portland to Skagway. She was sold to the Foss Launch & Tug Company of Tacoma in 1929. When Hollywood needed a tugboat to star alongside Marie Dressler and Wallace Beery in the film "Tugboat Annie," they chose the old "Wallowa." For the film, she was renamed the "Narcissus." The film "Tugboat Annie" had its world premiere in Tacoma on October 18, 1933. After her starring role, she was rewarded with a new engine, and a complete rebuild of her auxiliary machinery, deck, cabin and pilot house. She was also given an new name, becoming the "Arthur Foss" in honor of the company's president in 1934. The "Arthur Foss" went on to have a distinguished career including service in the World War II; she was the last vessel out of Wake Island before the Japanese invasion of 1941. Renamed the "Theodore Foss" in 1963, she was retired in 1968. ALBUM 6. TPL-9391
