We recently found a business card for The Old Tavern- Fine Californaio Wines and Kentucky Whiskey
Henry J. Geisler, Proprietor
Sample Room and Liquor Store
528-530 East Fifth Street, corner Clay
Dayton, Ohio
Home Phone 5280
This place is now The Trolley Stop in the Oregon District.
We were just wondering how old the business card might be or if anyone knows anything about it.

Steph, the 4-digit phone number probably places th age of the card arounf the turn of the last century when exhanges
(BEverly5-5555) or - what nobody ever heard of, long distance) hadn't been thought of yet.
