Scope and content
The three unidentified ladies examining the merchandise in the jewelry and cosmetics department of Fisher's Department Store, 1104 Broadway, are members of Tacoma's Junior League. They are learning the retail ropes for the League's takeover of the Tacoma department store on September 9, 1935. About 50 League members were to work alongside the store's regular employees on that day. Store general manager Charles L. Hufford had agreed to contribute a percentage of the day's receipts to Junior League charities. (T. Times 8/20/1935)
