Photograph of eight men standing in front of the "Bell Saloon" on Front Street near Church Street. First Avenue later became Front Street and Mission Street later became Church Street. There appears to be a barbershop operating out of this building. The sign on the striped pole reads: "Shaving 25c Haircutting." The sign above the door reads: "License to Retail Spiritous and Fermented Liquors."

Dawson of To-day. Leading Business Firms Recommended to the Public. 1901. Limited edition photographic album containing 33 original contact printed photographs of carious Dawson businesses of 1901. The mounted photographs are captioned with short typeset paper inserts giving business location and other valuable details. Because of a dismantled binding, the exact sequence as well as the original total number of photographs cannot be ascertained without comparison to an intact portfolio.
