As I mentioned a few posts ago in speaking of the Proctor law — ten saloons for 3,500 people. And four cigar factories. Evidently Hobartites were a hard-drinking, heavy-smoking crowd back then.

I should have been posting these inventories all along. They let me make a blog post with hardly any work at all!
