Part of Richards Studio Photographs
Ed Schloredt (L) and Richard Cook (R) listen carefully to judge Mel Pedersen who is pointing at contest designs fastened to a plywood wall. They are entrants in the Apprenticeship Contest in the carpentry division at the 1958 Tacoma Home Show. The 3rd annual Apprenticeship Contest, awarding honors to the top applicants, attracted apprentices in carpentry, millwork, and cabinetry from nine cities statewide. Carpenters would be required to build a partial wall eight feet high. They must fit doors and windows into the wall and trim and inside finish to demonstrate individual skills. Tools of the carpenter trade are leaning against the plywood wall including two saws. The Tacoma Home Show was an annual event held at the College of Puget Sound Fieldhouse to bring new products and ideas for homeowners to view and perhaps purchase. Photograph ordered by Washington State Council of Carpenters. (TNT 3-16-58, B-24, TNT 3-20-58, D-1)
