Summary edit

Description

This building was at the northeast corner of 2nd and Union. It was replaced with a parking garage.

A neon Bulova Watches clock hangs over the storefront of M. Tipp & Sons at 1410 2nd Avenue.

Morris Tipp was a Russion immigrant and although they were about the same age apparently he was not related to Seattle jeweler Ben Tipp, who was born in Illinois. The "Sons" were Stanley and Marvin, who were in their early 20s.

This photo was taken to record the new look after Tipp remodeled the space in late 1941.

In 1941 advertising Tipp implied that he had 20 years of jewelry experience in Seattle, but he didn't even appear in the city directory until 1928. In 1930 and 1931 no place of employment was listed (he was a clerk in 31). In 1932 he was manager of the 2nd Avenue Loan Company, and in 1935 was manager for the Mutual Loan Association. In 1939 he started his jewelry store.

Next to TIpp & Sons is the Hollywood Shop (Hat Bar) at 1408 2nd Ave, and Bruno at 1406 2nd Ave.

This photo is on the King County property card for parcel 197570-0520 at the Washington State Puget Sound Regional Archives.
