ca. 1909. In 1909 Engine Co. No. 4 were still in their old quarters in the 400 block of E. 26th St. A new two-story brick building would be constructed at 220-24 E. 26th in 1911. Seven firemen are pictured in this sepia photograph; pump drivers at that time were M.E. Shaver and Dick Brown. In 1910 Engine Co. No. 4 would receive a 2nd class American LaFrance Metropolitan steam fire engine . The dog in the photograph is believed to be Jumbo, the station mascot. He was a combination Mastiff-Newfoundland and an integral part of the station. Jumbo dashed alongside the apparatus at the first tap of the alarm bell and used his powerful jaws to drag hose. Thick smoke and flames did not deter him; he worked side-by-side with his fellow firefighters. When he died at a ripe old age, taps was played at his funeral; two special honor taps were struck for him. Jumbo was buried in a secluded spot near the firehouse.

ca. 1909. Copy of page from Seamen's ledger made on behalf of the Community Chest on February 9, 1922. Entries in the ledger date from November 2, 1908 to November 1, 1909 and list names, hometowns, and ships of visitors to the Seamen's Institute. The Seamen's Church Institute served thousands each year. Its purpose was to bring cheer and compassion to visiting sailors. The Seamen's bethel in Old Town was built by Chaplain R.S. Stubbs in 1886. It was subsequently moved to St. Luke's Parish House prior to July of 1906 and moved again in 1920 to the Municipal Dock. Sailors were able to enjoy, without charge, reading, billiards, showers, and chapel. It was a beneficiary of the Tacoma Community Chest.

German-American Band in concert at the intersection of South 11th and Tacoma Ave. South during the 1910 4th of July celebrations. The News Tribune, in a segment titled "Pages from Tacoma's Family Albums," identified the band simply as "Adler's band." Names of the musicians were not available. The building on the right with flag and awning, 1101 Tacoma Avenue South, contained the Andrew Johnson Shoe Store on the lower level. There may have been apartments for rent above. In later years it would house many businesses including a series of restaurants: Anton's, Siri's and Kelly's (musician Red Kelly's) . The building has been remodeled and the Sidebar Bistro will be opening there in 2009. TPL-306 (TNT 4-13-34, p. 13)

ca. 1910. Copy made from glass plate, Richards Studio. South 11th Street looking east. The steepness of South 11th St. is evident in this view from possibly the early 1900's. Traffic seems very light, with only a streetcar, one automobile and one man keeping pace with his team of horses. Tacoma would not experience parking problems in the downtown area for quite a few years. A glimpse of Peoples Store on the corner of 11th & Pacific can be seen as well as a meat market believed to be owned by William T. Dickenson further up on 11th. The Perkins Bldg., on A St., has flags flying. The Stone-Fisher department store, later known as the Fisher Department Store then the Bon Marche, is to the foreground, far right at the corner of Broadway and 11th. Copy made from glass plate on October 3, 1958.
