ca. 1926. In 1926 a new Jubilee Moon 6-60 from the Bye Thompson Motor Sales Company located at 3320 South G Street took on the steep K Street hill. The K Street hill between Center Street and South 27th had such a steep grade that it was used as a testing ground for the power of new cars. The Jubilee Moon was produced to celebrate 20 years of manufacturing by the Moon Motor Co. (1905-1929) of St. Louis, MO. The car, which sold for under $1,000, was reported to be of European design adapted to American traffic needs. The Moon and Diana motor car agent in Tacoma was the Bye Thompson Motor Sales Company; Bye Thompson was president of the company which sold and serviced the vehicles. This steep, rugged portion of K St. closed about 1960. Holy Rosary Church can be seen in the background.

ca. 1926. A furnace manufactured by the Gabriel Tubular Furnace Co., circa 1926, in Tacoma. The company had relocated from Seattle and was located at 1117 Tacoma Ave So. The furnaces were manufactured under the supervision of the Gehri Co., G.F. Gehri was president and Ernst Feix was the secretary-treasurer. The innovative furnace used no fire brick. In place of the brick, the fire box was surrounded by three inch steel tubes in a vertical position which radiated heat directly from the fire box to various feed pipes to the rooms. This method eliminated waste heat through radiation and reduced the consumption of fuel by 25-33 1/3 per cent. (TDL 5/2/1926, pg. E-10)(WSHS)
