Pictured here are three Oskaloosa police officers on patrol via horseback around 1910. Note the building construction taking place in the background. South Market Street is the setting of the background in the picture and would have been a commonly patrolled street, as most businesses were situated on this road. The mere image of the police officers would have served as a deterrent to potential robbers and thieves. Not until around 1920 did Oskaloosa get its first squad car, allowing officers to ride in more comfort and at a quicker pace.

General stores were very common in the early 1900's in rural communities like Oskaloosa, Iowa. In the center of the photograph is a small sign advertising the selling of biscuits and other breads from the National Biscuit Company, formerly known as the American Biscuit Company. In 1898, the company changed its name and operated out of 114 different cracker bakeries around the country. Today, the National Biscuit Company (also known as Nabisco) operates under Kraft Foods.

Based on the excerpt under the photograph of the players, the team was facing a serious financial crisis in 1907, looking at a team debt of $2,800.00. In order to raise funds so that the team could continue playing in the league, a ten day carnival was held to raise money for the team, which turned out to be a great success and allowed the team to participate in the 1907 season. On a separate note, Mattick (middle row, second from right) had a son named Bobby that ended up playing shortstop for the Chicago Cubs in 1938. The other players in the photograph are identified in the excerpt below the picture of the players.
