Historic Hood River
Meyer’s Cardroom
3-26-2020
Notes
Not a great print, but Pansy Dewitt’s album is very clear what we’re looking at. On December 30, 1918 Pansy and friends braved the cold weather to drive on the Columbia River Highway. They stopped in Cascade Locks. Here they are at Meyer’s Cardroom. Pansy Dewitt listed the card players as “Ralph, Mal, Kay and Alice.” I know Mal is Malcolm Button. I’m not sure who the others are.
The sign on the outside of the building says, “A.W. Meyer Confectionery.” The rest of the sign is blocked by Malcolm Button’s hat, except for the word “tobacco”.

I’ll put my money on the lady on the right. She’s got a pretty confident smile.

Arthur do you have a little info about this business of a card room?
