Throwback Thursday: Bismark Cafe Bar
Sit down and relax this #ThrowbackThursday!
A man and woman stand behind the wood-paneled counter lined with bar stools in the Bismark Cafe Bar in this 8″ x 10″ acetate negative. On the wall above them is a large banner advertising: “Schlitz” “Taste Schlitz today! Smooth pale dry; the beer that made Milwaukee famous.” Several lighted signs tout “On tap Schlitz Beer.” Displays of Schlitz bottles and cans line the shelves.
This image is published and owned by the Townsend Studio, which has been in continuous operation since its foundation in 1888 in Lincoln, Nebraska. The studio holds a collection of glass plate and acetate negatives of early Lincoln and its residents.
See this collection and many more on the Nebraska Memories archive!
The Nebraska Memories archive is brought to you by the Nebraska Library Commission. If your institution is interested in participating in Nebraska Memories, see http://nlc.nebraska.gov/nebraskamemories/participation.aspx for more information.
