SCARCE subject & exceptional composition. American Citizen and Loyal Friends America Benevolent Association dominates the advertising board, very possibly a members hall. Other signs include Chester Dance Parlor, OK Shining Parlor & Tailor Shop and two different undertaker / ambulance services. Striking difference in the young men's (at counter) much more modern / flashy dress. The organization was founded in St.

Louis & in the signage here is advertising for agents to work in Dallas Texas. A deep dive into every business could easily pinpoint the location of this hall. Inoffensive tear at thin board mount's left edge (11 x 14).

First image is a scan for better detail, second a photograph to show the mount's exact condition.
