Yuletide Festival for the employees of the Pacific Match Company, Tacoma, Washington. The banquet room is packed on December 21, 1934, as the large match company celebrated the holidays. This was an especially joyous night for the 300 employees, families and friends in attendance. Not only did they enjoy a turkey dinner served by the First Baptist Church Ladies Aid, but they also heard the welcoming news that there would be a $5 a month bonus for every month each had worked during the past year and an increase in the wage scale for 1935. President/general manager O.V. Snyder made the happy annoucement stating that it had been a banner year for the company. Pacific Match's payroll for 1934 was well over $300,000.
