Horsing around. During one parade, a man asked Al if it would be okay for him to bring “Sadie” with him into the tavern. Al said “sure.” After the parade, the man asked him if he was positive it was okay to bring “Sadie” in. Al said, “I told you, it's okay!” In came the man with his horse “Sadie,” posing here with bartender Jean Cochran, Flo, and Al's sister Betty. “Sadie won't drink anything but Canadian Club, you know,” said the man. Sure enough, the horse refused cheaper brands, but was happy to lap up the good stuff.

One corner of the “Chuck Wagon” restaurant, featuring a ceiling covered with doors. The little keyboardless Western Electric “Mascot” in like-new original condition provided soft background music for diners.

Display cabinet in the big hall, containing roller organs, barrel organs and table-top organettes. The pitch game mechanism lurks in the corner between the Wurlitzer BX and the display case. The top of the display case caught “near misses.”

The back corner of the bar room as it appeared in the late 1960s, with Seeburg models G and E, slowly rising oak table, and the infamous men's room. Sitting atop the Seeburg E is a rare hot-air-operated fan. Al Svoboda is seated at the rising oak table.
