Augustus N. "Gus" Denman, City of Tacoma Weights and Measures Inspector. A scale and weights are on the desk in front of him. Mr. Denman, a former star football and basketball player at Oregon State College, performs the job of juggling the standard hunks of metal which determine if a scale is performing accurately. He determines if any Tacoman is being cheated by a grocery, postal or any other scale. (T. Times 1/9/1936, pg. 3 "Around the Clock" column).
