Scope and content
Frank Melanson and Johnny Pavolka announced the opening of their new barbershop in the bus terminal at 14th and Pacific in August of 1939. They had been barbering together off and on in Tacoma since 1915. The new shop, with its tile back bar and individual round mirror behind each chair, was the first shop of its kind on the west coast according to Mr. Melanson. (T.Times 8/11/1939 p.7)
