Additional Details

A wonderful image of this combination Pool Room and Barber Shop. Seated in front is a baseball team in uniform, behind them standing are the proprietors and some clients. The players are wearing an insignia that contains the letters "C A P." The manner in which they are arranged suggests a couple of possibilities: C P A, A C P, or C A P. We tried referencing all three with no luck. An American flag, hung outside the shop and a "Red Cross" poster in the window suggest this might be war time, circa 1917-1919.
