On his way out of town, Angevine chased him down and offered to buy the paper for two shirts and a hat.

[10][11] Brown changed the paper's name to Twin City News in 1930[12] and sold it to Harry Dence and Raymond Horn in 1938.

[13] The two men sold it to John Weber and Wally Funk in 1958, who owned the Anacortes American.
