Description |
English: Kilbourne & Clark Manufacturing Co. was a firm founded in 1899 by electrical engineer Walter Gordon Clark (1876-1950) and dentist-turned-promoter of electric power utilities Edward Corliss Kilbourne (1856-1959). Initially established to sell electrical machinery and supplies, the firm scored a long string of successes in making and marketing early radio equipment for the U. S. Navy, shipping, and broadcast receivers. In this image a large group of Kilbourne & Clark employees pose outside the manufacturing facility, located at the time at First Avenue South and South Spokane Street in today's Sodo neighborhood. The only person identified in the image is Charles Wallace Peterson (1893-1972), an electrical engineer who may be the man second from the left edge of the frame, wearing a light duster coat.
