PIECE OF LAWRENCE HISTORY TO SELL ~ Cap @ The Newsleaf

“If the Indian is out, George is in.”  That’s what the sign said at 727 Mass in downtown Lawrence for many years.  It was a fixture on the sidewalk in front of George’s Pipe Shop.  One other little feature of the famous cigar store Indian was the little speaker that was located just below the Indian’s skirt.  George would speak through it at passerby’s from inside his store.  He obtained the item from a closed tobacco shop in western Kansas.

The moveable landmark was on wheels and for 50 years it went in and out of the store as George Wilson opened and closed the doors of his long established business.  The store location had come to George from his father-in-law, Alfred H. Lawrence.  Mr. Lawrence was a long established photographer in Lawrence for many years. (1904 to 1946) He was very successful in his enterprise and took many photos of University of Kansas sites and events in the Lawrence area.

Upon the death of George the property fell to Bob Brown, an owner of a neighboring business.  Besides the business, Bob also became the owner of the many contents of the store which included many items of the old photography business of Alfred Lawrence.  Many items had previously been sold but a large number of the items including the Cigar Store Indian were retained by Mr. Brown in his personal collection of Lawrence, Kansas memorabilia.

Bob is retiring and going to move out of state and plans on traveling light so he is selling his property that includes the entire collection of local historical artifacts.  All will be put on the auction block at the owners home in rural Jefferson County near Valley Falls.  The sale will be held on July 24th.  Hoffman Auction of Effingham, Ks. is handling the sale.
