Scope and content
Northwest Territory Centennial, round up of men without beards. The detainees wait anxiously in the "stubble pen" in front the Junior Chamber of Commerce's famous "Deathless Days" sign at the 900 Block of Broadway. A bewigged Magistrate Bertil Johnson sentences a clean shaven man for not growing a beard, as required by Centennial Beard chairman Swan Johnson. All Tacoman men were required to throw away their razors and get in the pioneer spirit by growing beards for the Territorial Centennial.
