Description	Saturday Night "After Hours Crowd" at Sam's Club in Meaderville, Montana, Proprietor Sam Fior, Bartender Louis Fontana (1940). Fontana was 19 years old at the time this picture was taken. He "hopped tables" there and then after hours Sam Fior went to the poker table and Fontana worked behind the bar.
