Scope and content
ca. 1931. In 1931, a Tschunko's House of Flowers delivery van dropped off a box of flowers at Tacoma Field so that the Tschunko's delivery airplane could carry them to their destination. Tschunko's House of Flowers and the Louis Tschunko Greenhouses were located at 5001 Pacific Avenue. They went into business at that address in 1906. By 1938, Tschunko's was gone and Gibson's Florist was opening at that location. It has since been demolished.
