In the 1920s, Eddie Bauer opened a sporting goods shop at 211 Seneca Street in downtown Seattle. At first, most of his business was in tennis and golf equipment, but he soon expanded into fishing tackle, hunting gear, and outdoor clothing. Bauer and the members of his staff were active in many sports and used their wide experience in helping customers.

In this 1926 photo, Eddie Bauer shows off his fishing tackle and his recent catch of steelhead trout. The photo was taken in front of Bauer's store in downtown Seattle.
