Description
Access to this collection is generously supported by Arcadia funds. Edward Zobelein poses for a photograph while holding onto a bundle of dead ducks hanging from each hand. He stands center and looks to the camera; he wears a jacket, vest and fedora. Both arms extend down as both hands grip onto straps from which several ducks hang. In front of him, a hose winds on the ground and disappears behind him. Directly behind him, a narrow, wooden plank extends from the right up to the left across the image. At the far left, an outhouse stands adjacent to the planked walkway. A man wearing a vest walks on the walkway, towards the camera and away from the outhouse. Further in the distance on the right, there is a picket fence. Text from negative sleeve: 3Lo 310. Cazadores Gun Club. About 1912. Edward Zobelien[sic]. Of the East Side Brewing Co. Now deceased. - 1942. Ed used to send down a barrel of bottled beer the day before every opening of the season shoot, for the boys. One year after the season closed, he invited the whole membership of the club over to the tap room of the East Side Brewer, and gave us a big suckling pig dinner. After the dinner and liquid refreshments, we went up stairs to a sort of conference room, where was a piano and plenty of seats, and Nelson played "My Merry Oldsmobile," "Selling Diamond "Tires," and others, and everybody in high spirits sang. Big, portly E.J. Brent, a prominent furniture dealer danced and sang "Irene is the Village Queen." Charlie Stavnow got real funny, and Frank Mellus kidded him all evening.
