This item was an advertising piece for a bar in Kansas City, but I've been unable to discover anything about the establishment. I'm even unsure if it was in Kansas City, KS or Kansas City, MO. It is titled the "Ninth St. Bee Line R. R. C.", but again, I've been unable to discover whether that was a legitimate, or partly legitimate, name, or if there was any streetcar line in the vicinity during 1891. Maybe someone with access to a Kansas City historical society could help. Or maybe a Sanford map of the area in the early 1890s.

The front reads:


NINTH ST BEE LINE R. R. C.
1891
Pass Mr. ________________________________
from any point in Kansas City
to WETVILLE, at 315 West Ninth Street,
until December 31st, UNLESS OTHERWISE ORDERED
see conditions
on other side

and the back...


No. 315           Person forgetting number forfeits pass
Conditions
    Person accepting this pass assumes all risk of accidents between stations, and it is expressly agreed and understood that this company will not be responsible for death resulting from loss of breath, heart failure, caused by poor whiskey purchased at way stations.
