Baird, Martin "Baldy"

millman for the Black Mining Company, ran out of Sallies at Picher Oklahoma and is now looking Joplin Missouri over in search of a brand new girl with the traditional name of Sally. You see Martin wants to stay in good standing with the company crew.

M. A. "Baldy" Baird was quite busy Friday having imprints made. Now, don't be mistaken, we didn't say fingerprints. No, indeed, they were dental imprints. Here is to easier eating, Baldy!

Baldy Baird supplied Picher Oklahoma Masons with fish for a fry Thursday evening.
