ca. 1939. Mrs. Beatice Neslund (top, left) and two unidentified employees work on one of the match boxing lines at the Pacific Match Company in Tacoma, Washington circa 1939. Pacific Match had been established near Center St. in 1924 and according to the Tacoma Labor Advocate back then, provided their employees with good working conditions. The company would close in 1964 due to competition from the Midwest. (Courtesy of the Ron Neslund Collection)
