The Washington Republican Washington County Friday May 3, 1901 Monday of this week, John HAWK, proprietor of the City Laundry, sold out the business to Ralph PEARSON and Ben SHAFFER, two young men of this city. Mr. HAWK says he will go to Oklahoma and look around and try to get a farm. He has run the laundry for more than a year and has had a good trade. Ralph PEARSON took charge of the business Wednesday morning and Mr. SHAFFER expects to help him as soon as he quits clerking in Oberndorfer's store. We trust the young men will give Washington a good laundry and that they will be well patronized. Born to Mr. and Mrs. J.B. HAWKENBERRY a 11-pound boy, April 27, 1901.
