The Richmond climax. (Richmond, Ky.) 1897-1914, 1904-06-01
A Most Remarkable Resemblance.

I0e famous cocoa ana chocolate
house of Walter Baker, Of Dorchester,
Mass, are sending out a superb colored
Autograph Of a young girl attIred in
rustic fashion with torn straw hat
covering wealth of ringlets that fall
gracefully over the shoulders OF the
laughing girl.
This picture as it adorns the wall of
COvington K Arnold's store is the sub
ject of constant attention, since every
body believes the picture to be that of
Mr.. 7. t. Covington's daughter, Miss
Hester. Any number of Mr.
Covington's customers and friends have
viewed the picture and declared it to
be the living image of his beautiful
daughter, and one lady from Garrard
refused to believe the contrary and
compelled Mr. Covingl on to part with
the picture that she might place it in
her parlor.
Mr.. COvington has ordered some ex-
ira copies of the picture and since so
many persons declare it to be from a
photo of Miss COvingtOn he has about
come to the conclusion that it is fact
and not merely coincidence. The
picture really is the offspring of some
gifted artists brain, but it will require
Il sworn affidavit TO convince the lady
from Garrard and many others that the
firm of Baker d Co., did not steal a
snap shot of the young lady to whom it
bears such a hfelike resemblance.
