Summary	Men pose around the wooden bar in a saloon in Breckenridge, Colorado. One holds a corncob pipe. The backbar pediment has carving and spindlework; bunting is tacked around the mirror. A cash register and metal sculptures of swordsmen are on it, and flowered wallpaper is reflected in it. An electric lamp is mounted on the back bar, and other shaded, bare bulbs hang from the ceiling. To the right of the bar are an open cabinet with bottles and a sign reading "cherry bounce." An open wire light switch, a gilt framed painting, and a wooden icebox with a "Joe Schlitz Brewing Co. Milwaukee Lager Beer" sign are also to the right of the bar. Fringed towels hang from the bar.
