Scope and content
In August of 1935, May Christenson posed in front of the tiny curio shop that she managed, the Jacque Gift Shop at 528 5th St. in Bremerton. The shop was owned by her sister Mrs. Percy Jacque of Seattle. Knick-knacks decorate the window and the basket outside appears to be holding chinese straw hats. Several flower pots hang from the walls. The store sold curios from China, Japan, Mexico and across the United States. Mrs. Christensen was featured in the February 6, 1936 Bremerton Sun in their "Around the Clock" feature, selected for her balancing act between working at the shop and taking care of her home, husband and elderly relatives. For Bremerton Sun. (Bremerton Sun 2/6/1936, pg. 1)
