Re: Matchbook Info Site?
In Response To: Re: Matchbook Info Site? ()

Hi Eric,
I dug out some phone books grin

Overland Hotel
Bar & Casino

370 4th Street
Elko
The Overland Hotel was listed in our 1939 phone book
The Overland Bar (no mention of a casino in the white pages...no Elko yellow pages available) was listed in 1945, 1951 & 1955...it was not listed in 1959

Club 449er
449 Railroad Street
Elko
I couldn't find any mention of Harry & Lido anywhere
Club 449er was not listed in 1939 or 1945 phone books
Club 449er was listed in the 1951 & 1955 phone books...phone #49 grin
It was listed in 1959...phone #RE 8-3484
Several years ago we were in Elko, and it was still open (though we didn't go in sad )
In 2007 we were there and it was renamed Cantina La (something)

Sagebrush Cafe
98 S. Maine St.
Fallon
Sagebrush was listed in 1935, 1945 & 1951 with the phone number 135-W
In 1959 the phone number was HA 3-0712

East Fork Bar
(Gardnerville did not list any street addresses in the phone books! mad )
Gardnerville
You have a bit of a mystery with this one... grin
The East Fork Bar was listed in 1939, phone 161; East Fork Hotel, phone 159
In 1945 the Bar was not listed, but the East Fork Hotel was listed, phone 159
In 1951, 1952 and 1955 there were no listings for East Fork.
I was puzzled because of the 3771 phone number...none of the Garnderville phone numbers had that many digits in the years I found listings for East Fork. Soooo...I looked for the phone number. In 1952 and 1955 phone #3771 was listed for Raymond Borda. In 1959 phone 3771 was listed for Gorgonia Borda.
In 1959 East Fork Bar was listed again, phone 5611
