Scope and content
ca. 1929. Daniel (Dan) Peterson and Ione (last name unknown) were pictured sitting on some large segments of logs and smiling for the camera. It is believed that Mr. Peterson came to Tacoma from Aberdeen when A.A. Star Transfer Co. of Aberdeen acquired the Commercial Truck Co. of Tacoma from owner James Garvin in 1929. The company incorporated as Star Commercial Moving and Storage Co. with J.E. Turnquist as president, J.E. Anderson as vice-president and Dan Peterson as secretary/treasurer. Mr. Peterson was the grandfather of Dan Powell, owner of Star Moving Co. in Tacoma. (photograph courtesy of Dan Powell.) TPL-9837
