"Could the Owl of been in the back...."

I don't think so. Even if it was, Alpine Club and Owl Club aren't listed in the same phone book...why? I think it's because they occupied the same space, at different times.

I love the old phone books, they're great! We also have a February, 1955 Review-Journal. It was a 100th anniversary edition and had a lot of casino ads. There was an ad from the Alpine Club, The Midget Bar, and other Ely establishments....but not the Owl Club.
