Part of Marvin Boland Photographs
In 1922 a day at the Western Washington Fair meant that adults dressed up in suits, ties, and hats for the men and women wore somber long-length suits and small hats. Enjoying respite from the excitement of the Fair are many elderly people who are pictured at the Peoples Store "Rest Room." Comfortable wicker and wooden chairs were provided in the outdoor pavilion and even postage-paid postcards were available. The store also indulged in a bit of advertising with several signs promoting the "Household Club" payment plan. G74.1-064 (Photographer Boland's notes indicated that the picture was listed as B6708 although B6707 is written on the print)
