Colorized photo from 1895
Original Title: F.M. Smith & Co game
Location: Old Colony Building, Van Buren and Dearborn, Chicago, IL
The game center of today, differs quite a bit from that of the past. There are no games to play here, other than speed to keep it all from spoiling.
You see there are no refrigerators here, any cool air needed to preserve them, comes from outside, its unknown if this was a summer spot or not.
Try the oysters, the clams and the lobsters, drying out just for you. We have a good deal on mallards today, but you have pluck it yourself. However we have plucked ducks as well, take as many as you need. We also sell fish. Don't mind the smell though, it always smells like this.
