if this is the palmer house traders, then alot changed since this photo...but the main bar is in the right location...i notice a stairway leading up (railings)..that may have lead to the other room which was tiki at one time but then they buikt a wall between the dining rooms and made the one room (that the stairway would have lead to ) into a nautical only themed room....where you see the screen in the middle of the photo was gone and replaced by a center colomumn with 4 booths surrounding it....now look closely at the native mask on the screen to the right...just behind it is a bank of booths (which would be in the same locationas the traders) and i see a caldonia panel in the same place on the wall above the booth. at the palmer house these were located in the same place and spaced about 8 ft apart above the booths throughout the entire room....thes caldonia paneals also covered the large main column that replaced the screen in the foreground (probably used the panels from the smaller colums to cover the one large one).....basically if you were standing in the traders in that location on the postcard, the entranceway would be to your left,,,,the nautical dining room behind you and the doorway that leads to the other half of the room where tabu tiki nights was held would be right passed the bartender beyond what looks like a screen covering that entry way....this is all conjecture and quessing at this point but if this is the traders in the postcard, that's how i see it playin out....
