Bregstressers are having sort of fami
ly reunion in this city. Twenty years
ago B. F. Bergstresse1, then a lad of
less than twenty years, packed his grip
and left for the Pacific coast Today q
stranger stepped up to Joe Bergstresser,
proprietor of the Bijou theater, ard
shook hands with him Joe was at a
loss to locate the stranger and when
told that he was shaking hands with
his brother he could hardly believe it.
Later on, Fred Bergstresser of Went
worth loomed into sight and convinced
Joe that the Stranger was really the
brother who had left them more than
twenty years ago. Mr.. Bergstresser
from San Francisco went through the
earthquake shock and fire and is still
doing business at the same old stand.
He will spend some time here, visiting
with relatives.
