Alden Bice's Wurlitzer came from the Raymond Theatre in Raymond WA. It was 2/5 Wurlitzer Style 150 "Special" (opus #1934) shipped from the factory on August 17, 1928.
 
The following article from the Wallingford Outlook (a North Seattle neighborhood newsletter) describes Alden Bice's removal of the instrument from the Raymond Theatre and re-installation in his place of business which was located just a few doors down from his residence.

Interestingly, after the death of Mr. Bice, the family donated the organ back to the city of Raymond and it was re-installed in the theatre.
