Frank Sanger, a former Paw Paw
boy, is winning an enviable record in
the West. Frank went west in 1908,
and commenced the practice of law in
Pullman, Washington. He has been
successful in his chosen profession
and has been closely identified with
the business and industrial activities
Of his community. In the recent
election he was further honored by
being elected Representative in the
Seventh Legislative District Of his
state. Thoughts of Frank in the
minds of his local friends always
picture him in base ball uniform in
the pitchers box, winning close
game from the Page Fence Giants,
Cherokee Indians, Jackson, Otsego or
some other high class base ball team,
and his picture in uniform adorns the
wall of either home or Office of nearly
all Old Time Base Ball Fans. He was
also the star pitcher of the U. of M.
team during his college years at Ann
Arbor. The succeeding years have
demonstrated that the same keen
clever ability, the same honest square
application that won him recognition
on the base ball diamond is winning
for him distinguished and honorable
career in his chosen profession in the
western home. Frank is the son OF
Mrs. Hattie Sanger Of the firm OF
Sanger and Gardner of this place.
