Deceptive Ten Cent Drink Prank At Tremont House
A Chicago Tribune illustration shows a traveler taking ten cent drinks for a dollar at the Tremont House Bar. He exchanges Ohio money for supposedly free drinks, receives dollar bills back, and remains puzzled as the ruse unfolds with stump-tail notes and railroad lists. The tale ends with the bemused stranger learning the bar keeper had the upper hand.
