Description

Thanks to Sam Talley who adds: "The striped barber pole goes back to medieval times. In the U.S. it is usually red, blue, and white; but it can be red and white.  
Thanks also to Kathleen Peterson who adds: "in the 1950's, Doc Stimpson moved his shoe repair business to Simpson Avenue right next door to Goodin's Confectionery Store in Hoquiam . That was a nice location for Mr. Stimpson and he prospered there for many years.”
