Description
Full title:Harrie Taka, proprietor of his own watch shop at 1171-25th Street, Des Moines, relocated in June, 1943. Mr. Taka worked for some six months for the Plumb's Jewelry Shop which is one of the largest jewelry companies in the State of Iowa. Mr. Taka then took work from various small jewelers and serviced them from his home. The demand for his services grew until he decided to open his own watch shop where he has more work than he can handle alone and is looking for an experienced watchmaker to help him. Mr. Taka lives at 1543-26th Street with his wife, Lily, and daughter, Ruth, who is of pre-school age. Mr. Taka's parents are also relocated in Des Moines. The Taka family formerly resided in Rosemead, California and relocated from Colorado River Relocation Center, Poston, Arizona. Photographer: Iwasaki, Hikaru Des Moines, Iowa.
