[PRCo] Billy Baxter

[DF Cramer]

Fred wins the prize! These notes are from the Valley News Dispatch. This was during prohibition, so champagne was out of the question. Look closely at the company photo and you can see the ginger ale on the ground. We have more on this, but you will have to wait for the book.
The other image is from a few years ago in Apinwall, taken at the same location

2/13/1930
