Bremerton businessmen Kenneth R. Crawford, right, and John R. (Jack) Jones were often mistaken for one another. Mr. Crawford, the proprietor of Crawford's Radio Shop, was photographed trying sell his "twin" a radio, while Mr. Jones, credit manager for Kaufman-Leonard Co., was trying the same feat. Mr. Jones was born in Wales. He lived in Aberdeen for six years before transferring to Bremerton in 1933. Mr. Crawford was born in Illinois. He opened his store in Bremerton in 1931 and it had grown from 2 employees to 19. The two men built a strong friendship from the recurrent cases of mistaken identity. (Bremerton Sun 07-03-1936, pg. 1).

Scofield graduating class of the Independent Bible Church, Tacoma. The banner behind the group reads "Search the Scriptures Daily." The pastor of the church was the Rev. Roy T. Brumbaugh. This new church was created when Rev. Brumbaugh split from the First Presbyterian Church. Four hundred and sixty-five members signed up with Dr. Brumbaugh to join the Independent Church. He typified his members as "fundamentalists" who opposed the organization of the Presbyterian Church. The Bible Church met at the Scottish Rite Temple, 5 So. G St., which it purchased in 1937. In 1943, the church dropped the Independent and became the Tacoma Bible Church. (T. Times 8/22/1935, pg. 1)
