Old photo of card game — July 1946

This photo is part of the White County Historical Society collection at Old Independence Regional Museum. Dr. R.W. Toler (dentist) is on the left, playing a card game in his dental lab at the back of the Union Bank and Trust Building. The game may be Acey Deucy a form of backgammon. The calendar on the wall gives the date as July 1946. Both men seem to be taking the game very seriously. Notice the clutter on the desktop behind the men. Other calendars in the background show Camel cigarettes, Sir Walter Raleigh pipe tobacco and a black Zippo lighter.
