Featured Story: Old School Lacrosse - Con Jones was one of the real promoters in the early days of lacrosse. Con Jones was, according to Cleve Dheensaw, the early-century George Steinbrenner. A transplanted Aussie bookie, Jones owned a chain of cigar shops- complete with gambling and pool in the back room. His slogan, "Don’t Argue! Con Jones Sells Fresh Tobacco", and his trademark image, reminiscent of a vaudeville comedy team, were featured on all his tobacco products and comprised Vancouver’s first neon advertising sign. |
