The Mayer Owl , circa 1925.
The Mayer Owl began business about 1918. Alfred E. Rice owned the Owl, a combination drug and sundries store with a soda fountain, restaurant and movie theater. Frank Promberger came to Mayer in 1923 and managed the Owl for Mr. Rice, whose occupation was listed in the directories throughout the 1920s as “miner.” This interior photograph about 1925 shows the soda fountain along with all sorts of merchandise, including pipes, pocket watches, greeting cards and Cracker Jacks, piled up behind the bar. Mike, the cook, is on the left, then Mr. Rice, then Elsie the waitress and Frank Promberger on the right. The building burned in 1931.
