Dio Reinig scrapbook, circa 1934-1966.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/277047570

The Dio Reinig scrapbook contains clippings from Seattle newspapers depicting the history and development of the city during the last decades of the 19th century and early part of the 20th century. The clippings are mounted in a wallpaper sample book from the Pan-American Wallpaper & Paint Company promoting wallpaper patterns for the Mayflower model home at the Chicago World's Fair. Many of the clippings are from the "Way Back When" column that ran in the Seattle Times during the 1930s, and the "Seattle Album" column that ran in the Seattle Post-Intelligencer in the 1950s. Though many articles are undated, those that are place the bulk of the articles between 1934 and 1966. Also included in the scrapbook are many articles and photos about the Shriners, extreme weather in Seattle (snowstorms, blizzards, and floods) and General MacArthur. Other topics that appear with less frequency are the Seattle Rainiers baseball team during the 1940 season; the opening of the viaduct in 1953; and the collapse of the Tacoma Narrows Bridge in 1940. The articles are not arranged chronologically.
