Woodward and Lothrop in Washington staged Tomlinson Week with an eight room model home showcasing Tomlinson products. W. A. Tomlinson and Thomas W. F. Tisdall attended as items sold before the rooms opened and sales quickened afterward.

This showing marked Woodward and Lothrop’s first feature of a single manufacturer's line after 30 years of handling Tomlinson products.
