Description
Circa 1930s TACOMA, WASHINGTON Vintage Photograph; Depiction of Tobacco Store Indian with man. Painted advertisement text on base of Indian reads; "CIGARS - TOBACCO - C.H. MANLEY & CO. - INDUSTRY CIGARS". Research reveals that this "Chief Skookum" tobacco store Indian was carved in Chicago in 1883. The carving was moved with C. H. Manley's tobacco store to Tacoma, Washington. In 1937 the carving was accredited to be the "#1 cigar store Indian of the nation". It is currently in the Museum of History and Industry in Seattle, Washington. It is possible that the man next to this important carving is Charles Manley, who managed a cigar store in Tacoma for 50 years. Pencil writing on the reverse, "Charles Manley 901 Pacific". (Not sure if his store was on 901 Pacific Ave. in Tacoma.) Exterior dimensions are approximately: 7-3/4" x 9-5/8".
