Businesses, unknown dates. These eleven black and white film negative strips were created for the Lacey Leader newspaper. These images were created using five different film rolls, so some of the images' physical numbers are repeated one or more times. For the purposes of this description, these film strips will be grouped according to which film roll they originally came from. Each of these groups will be assigned a lower-case letter to go along with their physical numbers (ex: 1a, 2a, 3a, 1b, 2b, 3b, etc.) to help differentiate between images. The images in group "a" show storefronts for several stores in an enclosed shopping center, likely South Sound Center. Image 33a shows a storefront for The Rusty Rivet. This image was captured from to the left of the storefront. Image 34a also shows the Rusty Rivet storefront, but this image was captured from the right of the storefront.
