Visitors to the Pennsylvania Salt Manufacturing Company of Washington's open house celebration on August 8, 1950, enjoy one of the many interesting tours given that day. Pennsalt opened the doors to their Tacoma plant in the tideflats to help celebrate the 100th anniversary of its parent firm. Here the man in white shirt and tie gestures toward what appears to be large holding tanks. Pennsalt manufactures many kinds of chemical products, including caustic soda and liquid chlorine, from coarse gray salt. (TNT 8-6-50, A-9)
