Temperance Raid on Public Square Cafe, 1907
Carrie Nation and her followers are shown conducting a raid on the E & C Cafe on Public Square in 1907. In the pre-Prohibition era, Mrs. Nation gained national attention for her radical anti-alcohol activities which sometimes included her personally smashing up the insides of bars with a hatchet.

This particular establishment has signs on its front windows advertising that it serves beer from Leisy Brewing. In the days before large, nationally-distributed beer brands, local breweries would contract with various establishments for the right to be their exclusive provider of beer. | Source: Cleveland Memory Project, Cleveland State University Library Special Collections
