Francis, my Grandfather's pigeon ring was run in conjunction with his "cafe". He didn't close down either until 1927, eight years into prohibition. I would assume that, as with most pigeon operations in Northeast Pennsylvania during prohibition, the selling of alcoholic drinks was part of the business. Read Canfield to get a feel for the time and the place. It is a great book, available at less than five bucks on amazon.com.

Not to mention the pointing of the guns at the camera man.

Is that a Parker SBT that is being shot in the forground of the man at 1:25 in?
Maybe and Ithaca perhaps.
