The Skaug Bros. challenge
Dennis L. Clay<br>Herald Columnist | Hagadone News Network | UPDATED 20 years, 8 months AGO
You may have noticed the challenge. It is on the back page of the 2004 Progress edition published recently.
There, in a banner at the bottom of the page, they challenge all comers to prove their Moses Lake retail business is older than Skaug Bros., Inc., which began as Armstrong Pain & Glass in 1946.
The Brothers will pay $100 to anyone who can prove their business was established before 1946. It must be a retail business. Service businesses do not qualify. The $100 prize must be claimed by the business owner only.
Any takers?

Located in the Vista Village Shopping Center, Dietzen's Thriftway Market featured "everyday low prices" and "Where every customer is important." The ad, above left, appeared in a cookbook published by the Moses Lake Woman's Club. We will feature recipes and ads from the book in future weeks. The cookbook is courtesy of Bill Ecret.
Lake clean up produced 30 tons of litter
The March 20 lake clean-up has been termed a success by all involved. Indeed, the 300 volunteers and organizers of the event deserve a another pat on the back for their efforts.
