until the 1970's:

The Klondike gold rush is where Trump's grandfather began to build
their family fortune, with a restaurant and lodgings and (supposedly) brothel for the miners:

the 1800s were weird as shit. bunch of guys runnin around an untamed land in 3 piece suits. i don't get it. traveling through swamps, mountains, deserts, jungles... in fancy suits. am i the only one that doesn't make sense to? there's been a long standing thing, 1 oz of gold will buy you a pretty decent suit. that's a non trivial amount of money, and these guys were running around outside wearing them? how many suits did they go through? how much time was spent cleaning and repairing their fancy suits?
seems to me they'd be all sweaty and uncomfortable wearing shit like that, to say nothing of damaging stuff made from limited resources.

Photos were a big deal back then, it was like some new crazy magical tech and I think they went all out and dressed up for the occasion rather than always wearing the stuff.
