This morning the NEWS man, on
search for the latest items on the
market, happened to step into the
photograph gallery of F. A. Trader,
over 5ls Commercial street, and was
more than surprised to see the change
made in their late refitting Of the
rooms. The reporter had been in
formed that Mr.. Trader was making
some changes but was not prepared for
so much.
The dark rooms have been changed,
giving more space in the operating
rooms, and the floor and all wood
work has been freshly painted and the
walls have been repapered, giving the
whole very bright and fresh appear
ance. The reception room has also been
reprinted and repapered in excellent
style and taste. Mr.. Trader and wife
have been in the city only about two
years, and in that time have made
many Thousand dozens of pictures and
have succeeded in working up an i'm
mense trade in their line.
Mr.. Trader has had over twenty
years experience in the business, and
has been located during that time in
many large and small cities in different
states and has massed a thorough
knowledge of the art in every particular.
Mrs. Trader has assisted him in the
work for several years and has charge
of the reception room and waits on
customers, etc.
Mr.. H. D. Stowe, an old and ex-
perienced photographer, is constantly
in the employe of Mr.. Trader and is a
first class workman in every respect.
The amount of work they have done
in the last few months is almost as
tonishing and it is the result of good
work, courteousness and general salts
faction to all their many customers.
Although they are fully prepared to
do all kinds of photographing in
the best manner possible, the most
of their work, especially at present, is
cabinet photos which they are making
at two dollars per dozen. Since the
price was lowered from three to two
dollars, their work has more than
doubled and at present they are all
three kept busy early and late.
Besides the regular Photographic
work, Mr.. Trader takes orders for
crayon work. A reliable Chicago firm
fills the orders for him and satisfaction
is guaranteed or money refunded.
Mr.. Trader has. besides his repaint-
ing and refitting, added several new
and novel accessories, and always keeps
up with the times in the business.
Mr.. Traders custom is not at all
confined to the city by any means, but
he receives orders from such towns as
Americas, Hartford, Reading, Olpe
and all towns in Lyon and adjoining
counties. These orders as well as
orders from residents are promptly
filed and mailed to their destination
without delay.
From the above review of his work and
his assistants it will be seen that con-
trary to the plan of a large number of
photographers he has connected with
him in his business only those who
have had several years Of experience
in Photographic rooms.
Those wishing any Photographic work
done, of any Kind or style, can do no
better in this city than to call at his
rooms, over 51s Commercial street.
Remember that he makes a dozen
first-class cabinet photos for two dol
lars.
