July 14, 1919 – BACK AT OLD STAND

Captain Phil Matthiensen, who laid away the sword a few weeks ago, has taken up the razor and the shears at the old stand in the Sawyer & Matthiensen barber shop, 105 Main, from which he was absent over two years while serving with the A.E.F. in France.

CITY BREVITIES

The rottenest circus that ever put up canvass in Sandpoint eased in and out of town last week when an exhibition called Sangers’ put up its tent back of the Ryan Produce warehouse and gave two shows. There were seven performers and a monkey. The city should have prevented a second performance after the first one proved they were taking money under false pretenses.
