A few law enforcement officials recalled in oral history interviews that Ruby would occasionally sign the back of a business card before passing it out; this would entitle the card holder to a free drink at the club. - Stephen Fagin, CuratorThis item, along with materials from the DA's Ruby file (which is on loan to the Museum) and from the Museum's permanent collection, briefly appeared in a temporary display on the Museum's seventh floor in 2017. - Lindsey Richardson, Curator of Collections
