BANK OF VICTORY AND DEATH
 

These priceless images come from two postcards secured at the Spring Postcard Show in St. Paul, for the tidy sum of .25 each. It’s the Game Room of the first National Bank of Bowman, North Dakota. I repeat: the Game Room of the first National Bank. “This display of fifty trophies,” says the card, “was planned for your enjoyment.” Presuming you enjoy transacting your banking under the dead gaze of severed heads.

“Bring your friends,” the card adds.

It looks like the rumpus room for a Bond Villain, frankly - all that severe modern design, remorseless ceiling lighting and modern furniture.

It gets better.
