Description |
English: The Pacific Outfitting Company of Seattle was founded in 1907 by Polish immigrant Alfred Shemanski (1875-1966). The store was one of several in a chain begun by Alfred and his brothers, including the Eastern Outfitting Company in Portland started by Joseph Shemanski. The Pacific opened as a clothing store for women, soon expanding to sell men's apparel as well. The store was managed by community advocate Max Lipman (1885-1953) from 1912 until his death. The store continued to remain in business until 1991, when the corporation was dissolved. This image of store employees features one man and by seven women posing in front of the store at 422 Pike Street. Identifications handwritten on verso: From left to right: Mrs. Redding (otherwise mine Aunt Betto), suit woman; Estella Boon (kindred); Mrs. Burroughs, suit woman, nice; Mr. Redman, floor walker (dandy fellow, but married); Mrs. McMillan, suit woman, nice; Miss Fogardy, shirtwaist girl, a cat; Miss Harney, suit woman, lovely; Miss Keruns, shirtwaist girl, dandy girl, pretty, looks like Elsie.
