“On April 24, 1946, hundreds of Tacoma women lined up in front of the Roxy Theater at 9th and Broadway for the Charmode Corsetry Style Show. Sponsored by Sears, Roebuck Company, Judith Lane, of KIRO radio, narrated the show, describing in detail the countless Charmode corsets, brassieres and girdles presented by the professional models. Those who arrived early for the show received cards that entitled them to purchase nylon hose at Sears. Mrs. A.D. Sherron of 702 Fawcett Ave. was first in line for the 9:30 a.m. show. She arrived at the theater at 7 a.m.”
