10/01/04 The last year has been good to Doc Pfizer. His magic elixir has really caught on and is selling better than ever... Even though two new competitive tonics have been released.

As a result of the increased revenue, Pfizer has decided on a new business venture. Doc and JimY (owner of Jim’s Saloon and Brothel) have formed a company named “Doc’s Frontier Adventures”. (Doc owns 75% of the enterprise). The company supplies unique adventures and personal experiences.

Per the agreement, Doc will supply the spirits and railroad cars. Jim will provide the management and staff for the venture.

They have purchased a MOW car and signed an agreement with Hartland Locomotive works for the occasional rental of one, out of production 0-4-0 locomotive.

Doc Pfizer has arranged a great deal on a passenger coach from one of his very satisfied customers in the Kansas territory.

Mr. Dole was no longer in need of this old campaign car. As part of the deal, Mr. Dole has requested a personally designed adventure and lifetime supply of Doc’s Magic Elixir.

Doc intends to make over the coach into a private car with a bedroom and bar/gambling/smoking room. Besides using the private coach for his own adventures, Doc hopes to attract the high rollers in the territory. Not only does Doc want to rent the car but he also hopes to influence these movers and shakers for his own personal gain.

Well work is progressing slowly on ‘Doc’s Adventures’ party car.... The campaign car was late in getting here. Even so, Doc is being forced into putting them in immediate service. Doc and Jim are not doing this to make money (yeah right). They are doing it to save their livelihoods! Yes, the temperance movement has made it’s way to the territory.

Guiseppe’s wife, ‘Sadie’, is leading the local woman’s “Anti-Saloon League” (ASL). Seeing that she is the daughter of one of the richest men in the territory, who also owns most of the buildings in town, Sadie has been able to influence many the local voters. Since women don’t have the right to vote in the territory as yet, Doc and Jim feel they may be safe for a year or two but they are not going to take any chances.

Doc is running for Superintendent of the Alcohol & Tobacco Commission. Yup, Doc is going to rent out his own private and party cars to campaign throughout the territory (using donated campaign funds of course).


Left sign reads “Vote Doc Pfizer, Superintendent Alcohol & Tobacco”
Right Sign “Raffle Tickets 5 cents, Win a bottle a Doc’s Magic Elixir”

Doc does not care for this gaudy Red, White and Blue car and is really upset that his crew has not had time to section off the bedroom. He has added etched glass windows for privacy and brought in a bed, poker table, bar stools and a stand up bar.




Lower Left sign “Catered by Jim’s Saloon & Brothel”
Right sign “It would be Tragic, at your next Mixer, To omit the Magic, Of Doc’s Elixir’s”

His election team has been trying to come up with a slogan for the campaign. So far they have rejected:
“A jug for every pantry”
“Into every day a little shine should fall”
“ASL stands for Aging Sinister Ladies”

It looks like they have settled on “Be wiser, Vote Pfizer”.

The crowd is not that unruly this nice afternoon as Doc and Jim map out their campaign strategies. Only one Red haired schoolteacher with a sign so far....




Doc campaigns at night (when the saloon crowds picks up and the ladies are home making dinner, cleaning up and putting the kids to bed.
