Students, and perhaps Dean Wegner (the 3rd person from the left), walk on a Fall/Winter day. To the left, row of trees have lost their leaves, early automobiles are present as is the old water tower once located on College Hill. The Students Book Corporation (Bookie) was erected in 1923 at a cost of $29,185. Financed by the Associated Students, the original wood framed building with exterior brick stood in the site of the present Bookie. In addition to textbooks, the Bookie also contained the campus coffee shop. Inside a long soda fountain with levers provided students with fountain drinks, ice cream, coffee; and a dozed high-backed booths places to sit. In 1954, the original structure was razed and a new Bookie was build for $348,600, again financed by the Associated Students.plain2018-09-12T18:39:50+00:00Is found in PC 4, WSU Historic Photographs Subject File http://libraries.wsu.edu/masc/finders/pc4.htm at Washington State University Libraries' Manuscripts, Archives, and Special Collections (MASC) http://libraries.wsu.edu/mascpc004b09-64n88-103; pc149b4n88-103ImageCampus buildings; Automobiles--Washington (State)--Pullman; Bookstores--Washington (State)--Pullman; Students--Washington (State)--Pullman; Students Book Corporation; Bookie1926ark:/80444/xv90631Manuscripts, Archives, and Special Collections, Washington State University Libraries: http://libraries.wsu.edu/mascUnited States--Washington (State)--Whitman County--PullmanNo known copyright.
