Selling cigars in the Hotel Heuvelton in Heuvelton

Eugene Gray and Alva Robinson standing behind the cigar case at the Hotel Heuvelton (also known as the Van Heuvel Hotel). Note the handwritten train schedule on top of the door, and the advertisement for soft drink Moxie on the wall above them, which they sold because they couldn’t sell alcohol. Circa 1925. Heuvelton, NY. Photo donated by Stella Thraves.
