Contents

John S. Parker and his brother, Steven Parker, were owners of Boise's Olympic Saloon at 816 Main Street (demolished). [3] [4] In 1909 Parker was president of the Boise Retail Liquor Dealer's Association, and the group drafted a set of seven resolutions to promote decency and morality. Among the resolutions was a prohibition against the "morning free drink." [5]

In 1915 Parker sold the John Parker House to Ernest Noble, [6] and in 1916 Parker bought a saloon in Butte, Montana. [7]
