Theophil "Theo" Feist came to Tacoma in the summer of 1889 and worked for his cousin Jacob Bernhard. He worked his way up from cash boy to bookkeeper. His sisters Irma and Lucy soon joined him. After Lucy's marriage to Joseph Bachrach, the two men partnered in the clothing firm of Feist and Bachrach, with his sisters running the millinery department. The store was successful for many years in downtown Tacoma, at 934 Pacific and later at 1116-1118 Broadway. Theo married Jessie Levy in New York in June of 1915, and the couple had three daughters.
