Store owner Ernie Little stands in front of his radio repair business in September, 1950. The "Little" in the business name probably stood for his name, rather than the size of the business facility itself. Ernie Little opened The Little Radio Shop at 728 1/2 Pacific Avenue in 1937. It was in the Viant & Pierce Bldg. It was next to Olafson's Pet Supply and close to the Tacoma Daily Index.
