    Description

    Completely AWESOME and RARE 1912 book by the Tacoma Commercial Club & Chamber of Commerce, Tacoma, Wash.
    32 pages wrapped in the cover and another thick 2nd page.
    The first and last pages show illustrations titled: Commerce, Timber, Agriculture & Manufactures.
    Inside numbered pages have the following headings: The Story of Tacoma, Location, Tacoma-The City of Homes, Climate, The City’s Growth-A Page of History, Manufacturing-Power, Tacoma’s Harbor-Commerce, Tacoma and the Country Tributary, The Scenic Attractions of Which Tacoma is the Center, Other Points of Interest & Additional Information.
    Beautiful pictures of downtown buildings, logging, ships, railroad, mountains, The Rose Show, rivers, homes, industry, the Great Stadium and a 2 page center map of the city!
    Front cover has a tear, water stain and slight warping, edge wear etc. The back has discoloration and edge wear. Inner pages are VERY good! There is only one spot under the upper panoramic picture of downtown on page 11, that someone labeled in small script under a building “Tacoma Bldg”. There is no other writing or tears etc.
    Binding is 3 metal staples which are NOT rusty and securing all pages fine.
    Please see all pictures as part of visual description.
    ABOUT ME:
    I go over items & try to point out any flaws, imperfections or important details, sometimes to the discredit of the item. But what is insignificant to one person can be paramount to the next.
    I am human however & can miss something so please view all photos as part of the visual description & ask any questions before bidding.
    Although it is almost universally known to everyone.... I want to remind buyers that colors may appear different in pictures due to my camera’s flash, natural lighting, your own color vision and your different device screens. Additionally, my “salmon” may be your “neon red”. If it’s important, ask, ask, ask. :)
    I package all items carefully with poly bags or recycled boxes to keep the weight as low as possible to save you $$. If you purchase multiple items I can combine them for the best possible rate. Please wait to pay so I can adjust your invoice to reflect that discount.
    I always offer the Priority shipping option. This provides insurance up . First class, Parcel Select & Media rates do not. Please purchase priority shipping if you want the added security this offers. I have never had an item arrive damaged but it could happen.
    All shipping options come with a tracking number!
    I have a orderly NO smoking, NO pet home. I can’t guarantee where every vintage item has been but I NEVER sell anything covered in hair, smelling of smoke or any other funk!
    I always allow buyers the “Make an Offer” feature. Although it’s wonderful when an item is sold at the Buy It Now price, I do entertain ALL offers.
    Is the listing a LOT and you only part of the items in it?? Please use the Offer feature, specify in the message section what you would like and then make an appropriate offer. I sometimes will separate items. It never hurts to ask. :))
    Have a fantastic day!!
