The Rensford Brothers saloon was a bar operated at 225 20th Street North, on the southeast corner of 3rd Avenue North, on the site of the former B. F. Cheek drug store. It was operated by Tom Rensford and his brother.
The storefront "attracted considerable attention" one night in October 1918, with the installation of "a painted noble stag... illuminated by electricity, alternately in red, white and blue."
This mascot may explain how the business eventually came to be called the Stag Saloon.
In addition to wine, rye whiskies, liquor, cigars and tobacco, the bar offered a "merchant's lunch" on weekdays.
