display of its wares. the now
famous merchandising establish
ment began its service TO Tacoma
and Southwest Washingto n
patrons.
Its history records an almost
continuous series of expansions
beginning with the initial enlarge
ment in 1894. But three years
later, growing business again
forced the company into new
quarters and in 1903 it moved into
its present location.
Even the past 80 years, during
which time the company has been
at the 18th and Broadway location,
it has been necessary to expand
the facilities TO accommodate the
ever increasing number of Gus
toners who frequent the store
regularly.
Plans for a gala celebration dur
ing 1912 have gone by the boards,
due to national and international
complications. but the company's
program for improvement will be
carried out according to schedule.
II calls for the completion of a
free parking lot for Rhodes Gus
toners. the operation of a fourth
elevator now nearing the point Of
service, and new women's lounge
which will be second to none in
this part OF the country.
Harry A. d. Smith, manager Of
the firm, regrets the existence Of
conditions which have set aside the
original plans for the celebration
Of the compsny's 50th anniversary,
but feels that Rhodes has job
to do just as everyone OF us
and that We had better forget our
celebrations and be about the task
which confronts us.
