Hello,

I'm hoping you all can help me with a dilemma.  I have a photograph of 
Agua Prieta, Sonora, Mexico (right across the border from Douglas, AZ) 
that is filled with bars named and painted with beer advertisments in 
English, including one called the Volstead Cafe.  My assumption is that 
this photograph must date between 1919 and 1933, a border town catering 
to thirsty American tourists, but it is in an album with the dates 
1910-1915.  Was Volstead already involved with temperance and pushing 
for prohibition between 1910 and 1915?  How likely is it that a 
Congressman from Minnesota would be well known in AZ and Mexico 4-9 
years before Prohibition?  Or is it safe to assume that the picture has 
been misfiled?

Thanks,
Gretchen
