Scope and content

As a part of the Northwest Territory Centennial celebration in 1953, it was "against the law" for Tacoma to shave from the beginning of August until the end of the celebration on August 29th. Those daring to shave were rounded up by the stubble patrol and transported to stubble pens where they awaited judgement by a bewigged Judge. Those found guilty of lacking appropriate facial hair could buy their way out of "jail" by showing a "stubble pass" or by paying a monetary fine. It was all in good fun, however, and all money collected was used to fund the celebrations. The Judge in this photo is probably either Bertil Johnson who was a real-life judge in Tacoma or Swan Johnson who was chairman of the Beard Committee. The Henry Block, 605 - 607 S. Pine, was pictured in the background. (TNT 8/2/1953, pg. 1)
