A second photo from the Traverse City antique store.
On the back is written "Boys Band Minstrels Feb 24/98."
On the front is a line of nine men wearing tophats, carrying canes. Behind them are 14 men in band uniforms and another man in regular clothing. Behind them is a large number of people including two men with bicycles. They are standing in from of Julius Campbell's grocery store which offered "STAPLE'S FANCY GROCERIES."
Back of photo.
A pair of newspaper articles reveal the performance was held at the City Opera House and raised money for the group, called the Hustlers.
