The Drinks Are On Me

Found this one last fall, but got another one today so I'll use this pic. The proprieter's name is on the back so I didn't have too much trouble IDing the token. Looked him up in the city directory from 1899. He was a beer distributor for a brewery in Cincinatti. He had a "sampling room" on the premises as well as a bowling alley and owned a couple other businesses as well.

I wonder if that brewery is the same place as the one down by Liberty and Central. I used to pick up Hudephol down there somewhere years ago.

Clump- I can't recall the name of the beer offhand, and don't know the address. It may have been a predecessor of Hudy.

BC- Its a vacant lot on the same block as the "sampling room".
