The sign here is a whiskey advertisement for Paul Jones, hung beside a pool table, which places the drink in the same room where men gathered to play and drink. Advertising like this was common in American saloons and billiard halls from the late 1800s into the early 1900s, when liquor brands competed for attention with painted signs, tins and calendars. Pool halls often shared space with bars, so an ad in that setting shows how closely gambling, leisure and drinking were tied together in working-class city life. Such rooms were shut down or changed after national Prohibition began in 1920, which gives images like this one added weight as records of a vanished social world.
