The Dining room of the Hotel Bisonte in Hutchinson, Kansas, puts a specific commercial space on record, a hotel restaurant in a city that grew up around the salt mining and rail trade of south-central Kansas. Between 1930 and 1950, hotel dining rooms like this one served traveling salesmen, rail passengers, and local families, and they were usually the most formal public rooms in a town. The catalog also names waitresses as a subject, which suggests the photograph shows the room in working order, with staff as well as furnishings. Such pictures are useful to researchers who want to see how a small-city hotel presented itself during the Depression and the years that followed.
