Giving the pup a drink by the wagon. RPPC. Private Collection.
These three are hanging out by an untethered wagon, perhaps a father and his two sons. The bottles they’re holding look ‘dusty fresh’ from the cave; maybe this was the homemade kind of fizzy drink. The puppy on top of the metal milk jug survived and most likely went on the hunt for a fresh bowl of water right after. Ha!
1910s group of 18 American brewers. RPPC. Private Collection.
The flag with the offset stars tells us this picture was most likely taken before July 1912.
This is a great picture of a large group of American brewers holding mugs of dark beer in their hands. There’s so much to look at here. It’s safe to say they enjoyed their product!

I never said I was above good ole juvenile humor. ;)
Too much wine? RPPC. Private Collection.
Yes, I collect the good, the bad and the ugly. Here you have it, these gents are lounging around, each a bottle in hand, the fifth suffering the consequence of too much drinking. Basic laws of physics tell me the barf was staged. ;)
I can see how this picture came about. They saw the bowl in the kitchen and someone said “this looks like barf, ma!”, then another said “Wait! I have an idea! Where’s my camera?”
But what was in that ceramic wash bowl? I’m not sure I want to know…
