DescriptionA group of uniformed men stand in a city street adjacent to two trolley cars. The conductor is leaning out the window of one of the trolley car. The men's uniforms appear to have a skull and crossbones on them; their hats have plumes and what appears to be a cross on them. Some men wear sashes, some hold staffs or batons. A bicycle is at the far left.
NotesSubject Note: Based on their uniforms, the men appear to be members of a fraternal order, possibly the Knights of Pythias or the Knights Templar. (Finlay 1/22/2014)
