ca. 1910. In March of 1910, Tallman-Thompson Co., Inc. hired pioneer aviator Charles K. Hamilton to take a birds eye view of Tacoma from his 8 cylinder Curtis bi-plane. Tallman-Thompson, located at 111 So. 10th, was the owner of Lakewood Subdivisions. The company owned 3,000 lots in Lakewood, being sold at $125 each and up. The company had 5,000 18x24 copies of the aerial view printed up and gave them away as promotion. On the top left is a quote from Success magazine picking Tacoma as the next New York and predicting that Tacoma would grow to a population of 5 million. The Tallman-Thompson Co. felt that the most growth would be through Lakewood, "the gateway to the Lakes." On the sides of the picture are predicted statistics on population, financial and industrial growth. (TDL 3/20/1910, PG. 41)
