Photograph of the 1932 Tacoma Auto Fashion Show

[Tacoma]: [1931]. 8x10" photograph, pin holes to upper margin, wear at corners, adhesive residue to verso. Caption on verso in pen identifying a couple of the subjects. Very good.

Wonderful 8x10 taken in advance of the 1932 Tacoma auto show.  6 school-age girls pose in costume on what appears to be a Buick convertible.  The News Tribune from the previous year's event notes that a new fashion show headlined the auto show at the Armory that year, with "the latest in bathing suits, beach lounging costumes, sports dresses" school wear, etc. modeled by locals.  The 1932 show broke attendance records, with the style show headlining the final day, which also included vaudeville acts and music.
