By 1900, Nome had many businesses and amenities. There were twenty saloons, six restaurants, four hotels and six bakers. Baking bread requires flour and other ingredients as well as fuel. Both food and fuel had to be brought into Nome by ship during the six months that the waterfront was clear of ice.
<p>In this photo, taken 1901 or 1902, five aproned men stand on the wooden sidewalk outside Nome's California Bakery Cafe. Signs advertise the cafe's coffee, pastries, and good meals.
