Club Saloon
With patriotic bunting and flags, Fresnans gather for a Fourth of July celebration at the Club Saloon in 1902. On the southern edge of town, the sign above the porch sends a message to travelers, advertising that it is the "first and last chance," presumably for a cold drink. John Wieland's Extra Pale lager beer is promoted in metal sign on corner of the bar. The owner, Fred Ruge, with wife, are seen standing, jusr right of man holding guitar at center. Ruge sold advertising space on the side of his building to the local Rambler auto dealer. The location of the saloon was at the original southwest corner of Elm and California Avenues, no longer exists and is gone with changes in redevelopment and layout of the roads.
