“LITTLE HERMAN" LEAVING
%
Herman Grimm, who has been in
Sewaid for the past three years and
conducting the Skagway, one of the
popular lodging houses of Seward, is
advertising his furnishings for sale.
Mr. Grimm will return to Skagway
where he has a one story concrete
building, and will again enter busi
ness there. Fbr years, Mr. Grimm con
ducted “The Seattle Bar” at Skagway
and was known far and near as “poor
little Herman.” This title was not con
ferred upon Mr. Grimm because of
finances, because Mr. Grimm not
poor by any means, but because of his
slender form, as the fair sex would
remark. Mr. Grimm was one of the
few liquor dealers who conducted a
straight place, and woe be the n an
who began to get intoxicated in his
place of business. Mr. Grimm refused
to sell any man a drop of “cheer” if
he showed signs of becoming to happy.
Men knew that if they ever went into
Grimm’s place they would never get
drunk for “poor little Herman” kept
his eyes on everybody and politely but
firmly told Ids patrons there must be
“no drunkenness and no noise,” and it
always went.
