Factoria Mervyns Spring Fashion March 1987
I have several other photos posted thanks to my Dad's photography business (click the lable Richard E. Hawes Studios). These are from the Factoria Mall Mervyn's Grand Opening on March 6, 1987. I'll have more photos to post of this event so "stay tuned".
Spring Fashions dateline . . . March 1987. Colors were both pastel or bright - fun patterns also made a statement. Big shoulders for the ladies. Bold colors and wild patterns for the guys. These shots were taken before the doors opened.
Yo Mickey!

Check out those colorful suspenders!

Presidents in Seattle
Happy President's Day!
The first President of the U. S. of A. to travel west of the Rockies while in office was Rutherford B. Hayes. Read more at HistoryLink. According to HistoryLink, he visited Seattle in 1880.
According to my postcard, he was here in 1881
"President Hayes addressing Seattle's entire population in 1881 where Hotel Seattle now stands c. 1911"
U.S. President Warren G. Harding makes his last speech in Seattle on July 27, 1923. Read more at HistoryLink
My Grandmother-in-Law, Maren Nielsen Andersen, snapped this photo of his car
Many more Presidents have come out to Seattle - I'm enjoying seeing the photos others are sharing.

Peter Hawley
If you're "in" to mid-century advertising, you probably have seen many of Peter Hawley's illustrations. Jantzen, American Greeting Cards, movie poster art, Bell Telephone and more.
I think he must have been a very private person. I can't find many biographical details but enjoyed some tidbits about him on "Today's Inspiration" Pete Hawley: No doubt, the envy of his peers! and Pete Hawley's Fabulous 50's and Pete Hawley: Betsy Bell Ushers In the 60's.
I found a simple gravestone on Find-A-Grave (and was disappointed he's not included in their "Famous Grave Search"). The Social Security Death index indicates he was born July 13, 1916 and died 17 years ago today on February 15, 1996. So I'd like to remember him today by sharing some of his Betsy Bell illustrations.
