"...the ivory puncher..."

What a great way to describe a cue. The next new break cue might have that name.

A similar article was posted in 2009: https://forums.azbilliards.com/threads/billiards-in-the-wild-west.125764/

The formatting is different but the images and text seem to be the same. The 2009 OP may be able to provide a clearer scan of his version

hey, cool..nice dig, bob
I'd also did some digging and found that the article originally appeared in real west, september 1974
pretty neat. I then learned that the brunswick balke collender company set up here in seattle way back in 1909
for anybody interested, details:

and a pic of the site, more recently:

Thanks for post. Not sure about rest of country, but know the little towns in nw Montana in 1920 plus had a “pool room”. Don’t have them anymore but think every bar has at least one table if not more.
