The Eatonville Limousine of the 20s

Fred Fredricksen standing outside the current Sears store

Fred Fredricksen stands proudly, and for good reason. Fred is the driver of the first stage (taxi/limousine) from Eatonville to Tacoma using the East road.

Fred is standing on the dirt road front of Kipper’s Ford Garage, which the Sears store is today.

As close as I can tell that appears to be a 1920 Hudson touring
