| Description: |
Five men pose in front of the H. G. Reisner Billiards and Pool hall. The address reads 126 above the door, and H. G. Reisner Cigar Store is painted on the front windows, showcasing boxes of cigars, a Christmas tree, and a paper bell.Horace Greeley Reisner (1880-1964) is listed at 126 East Main under Cigars and Tobacco in the 1914 Crawfordsville City Directory, so that is likely the location of this store. He also had cigar shops in Indianapolis and West Lafayette, before operating Deacs Book Store in West Lafayette for several decades. His wife Leona T. Kellison was a native of Crawfordsville. Based on his obituary photograph, Horace, known as Deac, is the man in the center. |
