Vargo's Jazz City & Books, Bozeman

Francis Vargo makes the decisions in his Bozeman MT. store about what new and used books to stock, what cds and vinyls to have on hand, and which greeting cards he'll order. He also chooses what appealing music to play in the background.

His assistant, Jazz, is in charge of public relations. She welcomes customers and provides a willing, tranquil head to pat. She does her job well, going about it in a quiet, dogged way. Sometimes she goes outside to sit on the cool sidewalk and observe passersby.

People like Jazz so well, they want to tip her by giving her treats. Francis sometimes has to discourage this if a person doesn't understand dog dietary taboos and wants to give her something like a chocolate ice cream cone.
