BELL ART STUDIO (1942-44)
    Bell Studios, new photographic studio at 109 East Main Street in this city, will open Saturday, according to an announcement by Dave Bowman. The new studio, under the management of Mr. Bowman, will specialize in hand-painted portraits in oil. Latest-type Cooper-Hewitt lightings and professional Hollywood backgrounds will be employed by Bell Studios, with emphasis upon theatrical poses and speed film for photographs of children and tiny babies. . . . Dave Bowman, one of the owners and the general manager of the Bell Studios in this city, comes from Klamath Falls, where he has managed a similar studio for some time.
"Bell Studio to Open Here with Bowman Manager," Medford Mail Tribune, March 13, 1942, page 5
    Bell Art Studio on East Main Street has undergone a complete remodeling and redecoration during the past three weeks, and is now open to the public with new floors, drapes, counter and other redecoration features. A new darkroom has been installed for Kodak finishing.
    The local photography studio was opened in March of 1942, and is affiliated with Bell Studios in Klamath Falls and Eugene. M. C. Stott of Portland is proprietor of the chain, which employs 35 persons, and Edna P. Myers is manager of the Medford studio. Mrs. Myers, who has been here two and a half years, returned last month from a three-month vacation.

NOAH S. BENNETT (1880s-1906)
    Mrs. N. S. Bennett was in Medford last week taking orders for panoramic views of the Rogue River Valley which her husband has but recently taken and developed. The views are taken from a prominent point on the east side of the valley, and they include all of the country from Pilot Rock, near Ashland on the South, to Table Rock on the north. The views show all the towns in the valley and also Mt. Shasta in California. They make a very fine present to send to friends in the East. Especially well are they suited for this as they give strangers a very good idea as to the length and width of the valley. Mrs. Bennett was quite successful in her sales, and those whom she has not already seen she will call upon later.
"City Happenings," Medford Mail, March 6, 1903, page 7
    From the Klamath Falls Republican: N. S. Bennett, a photographer of Medford, arrived in the city Saturday on his way to Crater Lake, where he expects to get some fine pictures of winter scenery around the lake.
"Klamath County News," Medford Mail, March 11, 1904, page 3
    N. S. Bennett returned Sunday from a two weeks' trip to Klamath County. He spent a good part of his time in the Wood River Valley--where the snow was from two to three and a half feet deep--but he provided himself with snowshoes and succeeded in securing several fine views of that picturesque country. He was not, however, fortunate in getting views of Crater Lake, as there was a storm on every day during his five days' stay near the lake.
"Purely Personal," Medford Mail, March 18, 1904, page 4
    If you want to give your friends in the East some idea of what scenes in Southern Oregon are like, you send them a collection of the stereo views taken by N. S. Bennett. These views comprise a wide range of subjects and thoroughly cover the scenery of Southern Oregon. They can be had either at the Medford Book Store or at H. B. Nye's.
"Additional Local," Medford Mail, July 8-August 26, 1904, page 1
    N. S. Bennett:--"You want to know about my summer trip north. Well, it would take quite a while to tell all of it and more space, probably, than you could spare. I made the trip to the summit of Mt. Hood and spent several days taking views of the glaciers on the mountain. I put in quite a spell in Eastern Oregon, making pictures of the big harvesting outfits in the Columbia River bottom, and had a good time all around, coupled with considerable exposure and hardships, and, in the getting of the Mt. Hood views, no little danger. I had considerable trouble in getting views of interiors of the buildings at the fair. They wouldn't allow me to enter the grounds with my regular camera, so I was obliged to get a 'Brownie.' I got them just the same."

Mr. Birge states that he saw some gold nuggets while away that were beauties and of no small value.

CHARLES F. BIXBY (1909-12)
    Chas. F. Bixby arrived in Grants Pass Saturday to enter the photographic business, and he has leased the former Loveridge studio, next back of the Hotel Layton. Mr. Bixby was in the business in Los Angeles for many years until three years ago, when he went to Alberta, Can. At that time he considered Grants Pass a possible location, but he was desirous of a more decided change of climate. He says he does not care to spend another winter in Alberta. He has rented a house at 621 South Fourth Street and expects Mrs. Bixby and the children to arrive soon.

    As one of the sidelights on the recent raids by Josephine County and Grants Pass authorities on "blind pigs," James Bixby, a photographer of that city, was shot in the shoulder by Chief of Police Rowley.

    H. J. Boyd, our photographer, informs us that owing to the bad condition of the roads it will be impossible for him to be in Florence as he expected. He will come later in the season.
The West, Florence, Oregon, June 9, 1893, page 3
    Mr. H. J. Boyd, a photographer of Eugene, has rented the photograph gallery in Courtney's brick, and will be ready for business about the middle of October. Mr. Boyd has been with F. A. Rankin at Eugene for the past four years, which fact speaks very favorably for his skill as a photographer, that gallery having the reputation of turning out a fine grade of work.
"Expressions," Lebanon Express, September 29, 1893, page 5
    H. J. Boyd pitched his photograph tent at Shedds this week. His brother Jim will run it during the summer, and will send the negatives here to Lebanon, to have the work finished. We will say that those who patronize this tent will get first-class work, as Mr. Boyd is by far the best artist that ever came to this city, and we will say his work will compare favorable with any in the state.

    It is a far cry from the "picture gallery" of those days to the modern, up-to-date studio of today, such for instance as that of Mr. H. J. Boyd at 177 East Main Street.
    Mr. Boyd is one of Oregon's native sons, and learned his business under one of the state's best photographers, has since put forth every effort to advance with the times and today is turning out work that is not excelled in large cities.
    He has devoted twenty-four years to photography, eleven years of that time being spent here in Ashland, and we are confident that his host of satisfied customers in this city and vicinity will bear us out in the statement that he is more than a mere photographer--that he is an artist in the truest sense of the word.
    He specializes in portraiture, but is also prepared to do outdoor view work of all kinds. Mr. Boyd did all the photographic work for the Ashland High School annual this year, and it speaks for itself far more eloquently than we could.

    Grants Pass is to have the third photographic gallery, the new one to be put in by J. N. Boyd, who comes from Cottage Grove, where he has been in the business for the past three years. But during that time he has had his eye on Grants Pass, and deciding that it has the best future of any town in Southern Oregon and is a town that will have a steady growth and permanent prosperity, he has decided to "pitch his tent in the city of promise" and that he will do in reality for he is unable to secure a room for his purpose. He expects to be ready for business by the first of next week.

PETER BRITT (1852-1905)
    AN ENTERPRISING ARTIST.--Mr. Peter Britt, our resident daguerrean and photographic artist, has, within the past few months, completed the building and furnishing of one of the best arranged and most complete galleries to be found anywhere on the Pacific Coast. The edifice is situated on the rise of the hill between Jackson Creek and Rich Gulch, in the center of a beautiful garden. The site is a prominent one, and the form and general appearance of the building itself exhibits an artistic taste that cannot fail to strike the attention of strangers as they approach our town from the north or south.
    Mr. Britt has now got his arrangements complete for taking the best of pictures in every style of the art. He is now kept quite busy in making, by the dozen, album photographs. Nature evidently designed Mr. Britt for an artist, for he never appears happier than when making chemical experiments or reading works devoted exclusively to his art. That he holds a high rank in his profession we have the evidence of a practicing artist, who has written to a person in this place that Mr. Britt's ambrotypes would grace the first galleries in Philadelphia. That Mr. Britt keeps himself thoroughly booked on the very latest improvements in the art is evidenced from the fact that he can produce the famous "spirit pictures," about which late Eastern correspondence tells us the spiritualists of Boston were "thrown into a furor of excitement." His skill and enterprise entitle him to the full confidence and liberal patronage of our community.
Oregon Sentinel, January 31, 1863, page 2
    PHOTOGRAPHIC ALBUMS.--Among all the parlor ornaments and expedients for investing home with additional sacredness, which fashion fabricates from time to time, nothing meets so many wants as the photographic album. With its rich binding it gives a literary air and makes a beautiful display upon a table, and, better than that, it preserves the counterfeit presentiment of those whose forms and memories are hallowed by love and friendship. Mr. Peter Britt, our skillful resident artist, can accommodate you.
Semi-Weekly Sentinel, Jacksonville, April 15, 1863, page 2
    Photographic--At no place in town can you enjoy yourself so well for an hour or two as at Peter Britt's Photography Rooms. Hundreds of familiar faces greet you on every side, and make you feel at home. Mr. Britt has just received from San Francisco a beautiful stereoscope giving a large number of fine views, from every part of the world.
Oregon Sentinel, Jacksonville, July 30, 1864, page 3
    Peter Britt, photographic artist, is prepared to take pictures in every style of the art with all the late improvements. If pictures do not give satisfaction, no charges will be made. Call at his new gallery, on the hill, examine his pictures, and sit for your likeness.
Advertisement, Oregon Sentinel, Jacksonville, March 25, 1865, page 1
    Mr. Peter Britt is making fine pictures this spring, and those who contemplate getting pictures this year will do well if they go now. As we understand Mr. B. will close his gallery during the hot summer months, that he may get time to finish some oil paintings which he has under way.

    FOR ROGUE RIVER.--P. Britt left for the Rogue River Falls on Thursday morning. He took his photographic apparatus with him, and intends taking photographs of the falls and other scenery. Jackson County abounds in romantic scenery, which would be a credit to any work containing it.

His son and Miss Mollie, his daughter, accompanied him; also Mr. Linville, wife and daughter, and Miss Addie Langell. We spent two very pleasant evenings with the party. Mr. Britt is a true artist, and we enjoyed the interchange of ideas in regard to photography very much. He left for his home on last Thursday.--[Del Norte Record.

"Bushnell Wins Many Prizes," Southern Oregon Miner, Ashland, October 25, 1935, page 1
    In July of 1931, Mr. Bushnell first came to Ashland. Having recently graduated from school, he was anxious to get a start in business, so purchased the Hinthorne studio, which was located in the Peil building on the corner of the Plaza and Winburn Way. Competition was strong at this time, and the country was suffering from depression years.
    Six months later Bushnell closed [the] studio in the Plaza and went to work for the Darling Studio, which was located where the Bushnell Studio and Camera Store now is. After six months with the Darlings, he went back to the Plaza shop and four months later made arrangements to buy out the business interests of the Darlings. . . .
    Mr. Bushnell was raised in Eugene and took two years of electrical engineering at Oregon State College. From Corvallis he returned to Eugene, where he attended the University of Oregon school of architecture for five years and was awarded his degree.

SPENCER T. ST. GEORGE CAREY (1897)
    S. T. St. George Carey not long since succeeded in reaching Crater Lake, and secured a number of photographs of that great scenic wonder in its winter garb.
"Local Notes," Democratic Times, Jacksonville, February 17, 1898, page 3
    KLAMATH FALLS, Or., May 6.--(Special.)--That Crater Lake was visited in the dead of winter 14 years ago last January and pictures taken of the lake and precipitous sides of the crater when the country about the lake was covered with snow more than 12 feet deep is proved by a number of photographs owned by Mrs. Frank Ward, of this city.
    A few days ago Mrs. Ward read in the Medford papers of the return to that city of Benjamin F. Heidel, government engineer, who has charge of the location of trails and roads in the Crater Lake National Park, and others of that city, who had made the trip on snowshoes to the crater and secured the "first" pictures ever made in winter time of that great natural wonder.
    To show that the Medford party had not taken the first winter photographs Mrs. Ward shows more than a half dozen pictures of the lake taken from many different places around the rim. These show the lake in winter garb with everything hidden by deep snow except the shape of the surrounding bluffs, Phantom Ship and the island in the midst of this body of water. The pictures also prove that although the temperature was then from 8 to 15 degrees below zero, the lake was perfectly free from ice. On the back of one of the photographs notations were made by the man who made this perilous journey and took the pictures, which were dated January 4, 1897.
    These pictures were taken by S. B. St. George Carey [sic], an Englishman, who was spending the winter of 1897 in Klamath Falls, and who was a guest of a boarding house conducted by Mrs. Ward. Mr. Carey left here accompanied by a companion for the rim of the crater. He said he would be back within .a given time, but was gone several days over the date specified, and a searching party was being organized here and [also] one to go from Fort Klamath, 22 miles this side of the crater, to search for him, when he returned to the Fort almost exhausted from his hard trip. His hands and face were badly frozen.
    The following spring he left Klamath Falls and returned to London, England, where he had the pictures developed. He sent 13 of these different views to Mrs. Ward.
    Mr. Carey was the scion of a wealthy family, and later returned to Newcastle, Cal., where he now resides. Following his perilous journey to Crater Lake, he wrote several articles, which were published in some of the leading magazines.

    Clevenger's cabinet of child's photos at the Layton Hotel corner is a very interesting study and shows that the artist has a peculiar talent for obtaining the finest results in the portraiture of the little people as well as those of larger growth. Mr. Clevenger is a photographer who is observant and progressive, and he is doing some fine work.

    Last week we said that Medford had no photographer--this week we have two. In the face of this there are perhaps those who will say advertising doesn't pay.

     Messrs. J. H. Coyle and W. G. Cutberth, of Stockton, Calif., have opened a photographer's gallery in Medford--in the Hamlin block on Seventh Street. They are both married men, and their families are with them, and all propose to remain permanently. Work is coming in fairly well, and they feel correspondingly encouraged. They are said to be first-class artists, and such being the case they deserve our patronage.
"All the Local News," Medford Mail, July 28, 1893, page 3
    Medford has no photographer--just think of it! A city with a population of over two thousand people and no photographer. The Mail editor is not so handsome that he desires particularly to be focused, but there are a whole lot of good-looking girls and boys, whose ages range all the way from the cradle to pretty close to the grave, in this city who would look well in a frame, but--no photographer no picture, no picture no frame. If some good, reliable artist will anchor a base right here in Medford and can prove by his work that he is a workman worthy of the hire, he will do a good business. No fakes need apply--our people have been bilked quite aplenty.

    LUCKY WIDOW.--An Oregon grass widow at one time a resident of Jacksonville as the wife of a photographer named Forbes has turned up in a San Francisco court as plaintiff in a breach of promise suit. It seems that she had received the attention of a frisky old bachelor named Ridgeway for about ten years and, failing to bring him up to the matrimonial point, she commenced a suit for metallic compensation for wasted time and wounded feelings. The court has awarded her $5,000, which will get her a husband most anywhere, and the gay old trifler will learn not to fool with widows unless he means business.

    T. D. Goodpasture, of Central Point, was in Medford last week, calling upon his many acquaintances. While here he made a canvass of the city in the interest of stereoscopic views which he is selling. He found it pretty hard work getting an opportunity to show his goods. Our people have been flimflammed so many times with cheap, trashy stuff in this line that it is difficult to get them to look at his goods, notwithstanding the fact that they are far superior to anything shown here before. The views are many of them of especial local interest, and as they are made with a view to bringing out every detail clearly--hence exceedingly valuable. Give Mr. Goodpasture an opportunity to show you his views, and you will surely be interested.

    Photographing babies and small children. The best time to get a good picture of a baby or small child is when it's in the "mood," or feeling good. A good receipt: Give the child a good nap, feed well, dress quickly and take it to the photographer. It ought then to be feeling its best. Nine or 10 o'clock in the morning is a good time to photograph babies. Do not wait until late in the afternoon, when the child is tired and warm and the light is poor; try the early forenoon. Platinum papers make absolutely the highest grade finish. They are more expensive than the common finish, but the results are beyond comparison.

    Photographer Gregory has taken several very fine views of the coal mines, east of Medford. These pictures show actual operations at the mine, and huge blocks of coal corded up like wood at the mouth of the tunnel. There ought to be one or more of these pictures over the desk of every business man in Medford. There is a something about the picture which is interesting--chief among its features is the fact that it is right at Medford's door--and there are mountains of it.

    The photos are marvels of beauty. The first work of producing the pictures was carefully handled and then each photo was colored with the most painstaking care. The effect is truly splendid and the views should do much good while on exhibition in Spokane.

EDRICK L. GURNEA
    E. L. Gurnea and George Howard left Medford Monday morning for the Crater Lake National Park, at which place they will remain for a couple or three weeks. Mr. Gurnea took his camera with him and, being a scenic photographer of ability, it will be safe to give out that he will return with a great variety of scenes from that natural wonderland. Mr. Gurnea puts the views up in stereoscopic form and has them for sale.
"Purely Personal," Medford Mail, July 11, 1902, page 6
    E. L. Gurnea:--"Did you see that view I took of the result of G. P. Lindley's fall hunt? No? Then come down and I'll show it to you. There are eleven big bucks hung up, as you see. Four of them are so large that they touch the ground, while the heels are somewhat higher than a six-foot man's head. Yes, I've seen a lot of other views of the valley [of] Rogue River between here and Crater Lake and everywhere. Some of them you don't see every day. Don't know what that is? Why, that is a picture taken on Ashland Creek, a little way from the town. Chances are you have been by there lots of times and never saw it. You have to be looking for those things in order to see them. I don't take any credit for seeing things where others can't. It's simply a matter of practice. What I would like to do is to take a trip through the Oregon mountains, hunting with my camera. I believe I could get some shots that would be all right. I'm going to try it one of these days."
"Street Echoes," Medford Mail, October 30, 1903, page 1
    E. L. Gurnea:--"Say, Bliton, you have no idea of the amount of business I have worked up on those Southern Oregon stereoviews. Why, only last week I sent nine dozen of them to different parties in Washington, D.C. These were views of Crater Lake and the upper Rogue River country. Those people back there want something rough and rugged, and some of my views are all of that. There is plenty of rugged country up Rogue River and I have focused about all there is of it and from all the possible viewpoints. I have over 300 stereonegatives of Oregon views, and fully 200 of them were taken in Southern Oregon. Mrs. Gurnea does the printing, and night and morning I make the views ready for the market. They sell at $2 a dozen--and I am building up a good business. It's quite a side issue and does not interfere with my other work. I'll show you the entire collection one of these days."
"Street Echoes," Medford Mail, November 20, 1903, page 1
    Percy DeGroot was at Ashland Wednesday evening in attendance at Chautauqua. He tells that while passing through Talent he saw E. L.

    Frank Hull:--"Last week I told the Mail readers in an advertisement that I was going to take orders for Christmas photos for H. C. Mackey & Boyd, and that I was going to give away a present. I've made different arrangements--that is, Messrs. Mackey & Boyd have. When I went to them to close up the agreement we couldn't come to a satisfactory understanding of affairs as I remembered had previously been talked--and it was all off. I simply offer this in explanation of the why I will not be able to live up to the promises made in the advertisement. I hope, however, to soon commence taking orders for G. W. Mackey & Dunlap."

    The firm of Hunter & Sherer, photographers, has been dissolved, Mr. F. S. Sherer retiring. Mr. J. W. Hunter will continue the business as heretofore, in the Hamlin block. Mr. Hunter is unquestionably one of the best photographers in all Oregon. He has had years of experience in the East where only the best work possible in the art is permissible. The samples displayed in front of his studio is evidence of the superior work he turns out. He is a high art photographer--who makes portraits--not mere pictures. Mr. Sherer is not himself a photographer, and the line of business he will engage in he has not yet decided upon.
"City Happenings," Medford Mail, August 2, 1901, page 7
    One thing certain the Elite Studio, under Mr. Hunter's management, is turning out the finest portraits in photography ever made in this county. The reception room is filled with work he has done here in Medford that would be a credit to any city,showing work to the public in posing, lighting and fine smooth retouching which shows plainly he is a master at his profession. Photos of familiar faces adorn the walls, and people come from all the towns around to have work done by the operator of the Elite Studio. He has been here but a short time, but notwithstanding he is the busiest man in Medford. If you appreciate a work of art, call at the Elite photo studio and leave your order.

CLARENCE L. HUNTINGTON (Portland 1898-1903, San Francisco 1909)
    What appeared to be an airship has been seen flying over the city on several occasions during the past week. It proved to be a box kite, on which was suspended a small camera with which "birdseye" views of scenes in this vicinity were taken. The kite has been made to ascend, when the winds are favorable, to a height of about 500 feet. The greatest difficulty in having the kite remain in a proper position is the various cross-currents in the upper strata of air. The kite is the property of C. L. Huntington of San Francisco, a traveling photographer, and is capable of lifting 50 pounds when the winds are favorable.

    Miss Jones is a native of Missouri, Kansas City, to be exact. Her father served in the Confederate Army. Her earlier days were happily spent on a farm. When fifteen, she entered the University of Oklahoma, leaving the college while a sophomore. Readers will recall a popular fad of that time, leather pillow covers, with Indian scenes painted on them. She obtained employment as a painter of these scenes, since her urge for art would naturally interest her in these productions. Meanwhile, she had several friends in Oklahoma City who owned a photo studio, another outlet for her artistic trend. By questions and answers, experiment and trial, she learned the rudiments of the profession and soon showed skill as a retoucher. Soon she discarded pillow top art for retouching in several studios. By this time her parents moved to Yuma, Arizona. She moved with them, but after a six months' stay decided to go further west, and went to live with a cousin in Portland, Oregon. There being no retouching to be done, she purchased a stamp picture studio, and, to use her words, "the fun began." Perhaps she had in the mind the time when she and a partner had a studio houseboat on the Columbia River, and the incidental camping experiences along the river, as the "studio" moved from town to town. Interested in photography, her real hobby is raising unusual plants and flowers. She and Skipper, the pup, constitute the family. Her studio today is located in Medford, Oregon.

FRED H. KISER (1901-27)
See Mabel Russell.
    A leading feature of the Crater Lake outing under W. G. Steel was the successful climb of Mount Scott, a little-known mountain near the border of the lake, which towers up to somewhere near the height of Mount St. Helens, 9122 feet. Under the leadership of Messrs. Fred and Oscar Kiser, who are perhaps the most daring and successful cliff climbers in the Northwest, a little party of five made the ascent, this party including the first women, it is believed, to make the summit of the peak. . . .
    The view of Crater Lake from the summit of Mount Scott outrivals any that has hitherto been known. The camera was therefore leveled at it in good earnest. The view commanded the entire lake, with the morning light still upon it, the marvelous reflections which are so distinguishing a feature of the lake and which can be seen only at certain hours being plainly visible. Panoramic views commonly seen of Crater Lake are made from a series of plates, and are not, therefore, correct in perspective, whereas a photograph taken from Mount Scott being upon a single plate is absolutely true to nature. As this is the first photograph ever taken from the summit of Mount Scott, everyone who is interested in Crater Lake is on the qui vive to see the finished picture.
"New View of Crater Lake," Medford Mail, August 28, 1903, page 1
    The wonderful ability of Mr. Kiser and the fidelity with which the photographs are painted portray Crater Lake more nearly as it is than any other pictures that have ever been made through any other medium.
"Crater Lake Portrayed in Picture," Medford Daily Tribune, October 23, 1907, page 2

He is the "official" photographer both of Glacier and Crater Lake national parks, for instance.

"Announcement," Ashland Tidings, February 26, 1886, page 3
    The most interesting part of the prize fight is the fact of the affair having been photographed in three distinct scenes by one of our ambitious and enterprising camera artists. The gentlemen who announced after the thing was over that they had failed to reach there in time to see it, and a number of others who said they had heard nothing about it wilted like crisp salad in a bath of hot butter and vinegar when the photographs were "pulled on them" and showed their smiling and interested countenances surrounding the rope, inside of which were the fighters in action.
"Brevities," Ashland Tidings, April 23, 1886, page 3
    A procession of eleven Ashland babies in their buggies, wheeled by young girls, aunts, cousins and sisters, attracted considerable attention on the streets last Saturday. Of course Logan secured a photograph of the scene.

    Chas. W. Logan, the photographer, took two views of the ballroom and dancers Tuesday night with the calcium light, and will have them ready soon. This is the first of the kind yet taken on the coast, although the interior of theaters in the East have been photographed successfully, and if the pictures turn out as expected, Charley may justly feel proud of this job. Several views of the interior of the hall were taken Wednesday, also.
"The K.P. Ball," Valley Record, Ashland, February 21, 1889, page 3
    Chas. W. Logan, the enterprising photographer, who is always up to new wrinkles in his line, has put an arc light in his gallery and took some fine photos by electric light. They are dandies.
"Brevity Basket," Valley Record, Ashland, March 21, 1889, page 3     Logan took a view of the editorial excursion and the people assembled at The Oregon yesterday, and another one at the train--of the party exclusively. They certainly desire to remember their Ashland visit, for they ordered 5 dozen of the photographs from Logan.
"Brevities," Ashland Tidings, July 19, 1889, page 3
    Of course you are going to attend the District Fair. We're all going. Logan, the photographer, will have a gallery on the grounds and be prepared to photograph anything from a trotting horse to a curly-headed baby, the pet of household.

    There was a jolly crowd of commercial and uncommercial travelers at the Ashland hotels during the first ten days of the blockade, but they all left for Portland on the last train.  Before they went the crowd at the Oregon dressed up the Main Street front of the hotel with immense bulletins concerning the delayed trains, prospects for future travel, etc. and then they took positions to display themselves to the best advantage and had Logan photograph the scene.  He made a fine picture and sold all he had printed last week.
Ashland Tidings, February 4, 1890
    Don't forget that every first premium awarded at the district fair for fine photographic work was carried off by Logan, the Ashland photographer, for his unrivaled portraits and views. When you want a fine picture at a small price call on him.

    The feed barn of Henry Royse, together with a large stack containing 200 or 300 tons of hay, was burned last Monday at Hardman, Gilliam County, also the private barn of D. M. Hardman. The barns were situated some distance from other buildings and about forty yards apart. Three horses in Royse's barn were burned to death. Mackey, the photographer, who is a brother of G. W. Mackey, now in Fossil, succeeded in saving his tent and apparatus, which were in Royse's yard when the fire broke out.
"From Monday's Daily," The Dalles Times-Mountaineer, September 17, 1892, page 1
    The ad of Mackey, the photographer, appears in another column of today's Mail. The gentleman is here for a couple of months' stay, during which time he will give our people a chance to procure some of his excellent work. He comes well recommended, both as an artist and a gentleman of strict, honorable business principles. See the tent, near the Clarendon Hotel.

    Photographer Mackey has leased the gallery now occupied by Tyler & Miser, and as soon as these gentlemen can make it convenient to shift their place of business he will move in.
"News of the City," Medford Mail, September 27, 1895, page 8     Misses Ollie and Lou Butler have taken positions in the photograph gallery of H. C. Mackey. Neither of the young ladies are adepts at the business, but it will not be long ere they have acquired a proficiency in the art--under so eminent an instructor as is Mr. Mackey. The fact that Miss Ollie has taken this position does not interfere in the least with her music class.
"News of the City," Medford Mail, October 25, 1895, page 5
    Mackey, the photographer, is just about in his element right now. He has fitted up the Hamlin studio in first-class style, and as a result is enjoying an increased patronage which just about keeps him on the jump.
"News of the City," Medford Mail, October 25, 1895, page 8
    There is not the least possible chance for the slightest mistake--Mackey's photographs don't need any fixing--they are all right always--or money refunded.
    Don't miss Mackey's photo studio if it is excellent work you are in search of--and where prices don't cripple you.     H. C. Mackey, the photographer, was in Gold Hill Monday taking views of the Rogue River Water & Mining Company's ditch and the groups of men at work thereon. Mr. Mackey has a contract to take views of the work at different stages of its progress, the views to be taken each week as long as the work continues. The views taken Monday are very fine ones--such as Mackey always puts up.
"News of the City," Medford Mail, September 25, 1896, page 7
    Photographer Mackey was at Gold Hill again last week taking views of the Rogue River Water and Mining Company's ditch. He has taken, altogether, about twenty-five different views of the ditch and the country through which it is to be built. He reports a large force of men now at work on the building of a dam across Rogue River and that the work being done is first-class and very substantial. He states that there is a force of men and teams constantly at work on the ditch proper.
    Mr. Mackey may truly be called a progressive photographer. All work leaving his establishment is strictly first-class. He has only been in the business in this city two years, but during that time, through his genial manner and courteous treatment to all patrons, his success has been phenomenal.
"Our Business and Professional People," Medford Mail, May 28, 1897, page 3
    H. C. Mackey, the Medford photographer, one day last week had a new $45 overcoat stolen from the office of the Ashland House. Al. Helms, one of the lessees of the house, lost a similar garment a few days since in the same way.

    Mr. Mackey, the Medford photographer, came out on Tuesday of last week, and on Wednesday took a picture of our school. He decided not to take a picture of the school house, so he arranged the children on some long benches in the field nearby, having the timber and hills for the background.

    H. C. Mackey's studio, in the Hamlin Block, is a thing of beauty these days--since Mr. Mackey has removed all the old pictures and decorations from the walls, and replaced them with his new and up-to-date photos. One cannot spend an hour more pleasantly than in looking over the grand display in this studio. In every picture put out by Mr. Mackey there is plainly seen the careful touch of the true artist's hand. There is not a better artist in all Oregon than is Mr. Mackey, and we question there being his equal south of Portland.
"City Happenings," Medford Mail, May 11, 1900, page 7
    H. C. Mackey, the Hamlin block photographer, reports that during the past few weeks he has taken the pictures of five different graduating classes.

    Photographer H. C. Mackey went to Gold Hill last Sunday on business, returning Monday. During his absence quite an accident happened to his photo tent. Sunday night the snow accumulated on the tent and broke the ridgepole. The wind Monday morning helped matters along, and the tent was completely ruined. Some of Mr. Mackey's friends removed his outfit to shelter and thus saved it a great deal, but he estimates his loss at upwards of two hundred dollars. Tuesday Mr. Mackey reopened his gallery in the room on the second floor of the Adkins block and is now fitting up one of the finest galleries in Southern Oregon. To add to his already very complete outfit he has ordered a lens from Portland that has been tested by the leading photographers of that city and found to be absolutely perfect.
"City Briefs," Medford Success, January 27, 1903, page 1
    The wind on Monday blew down H. C. Mackey's big tent, damaging photographic goods and unfinished work to the extent of several hundred dollars. He has already ordered a new tent and will soon be on deck again.
"Local Notes," Democratic Times, Jacksonville, January 28, 1903, page 1
    H. C. Mackey has had his full share of trouble during the past few days. On Saturday night someone broke into his photo tent on C Street and took therefrom quite a number of valuable articles. Mr. Mackey went to Gold Hill Sunday, looking for traces of the thieves, and on Monday morning the snow which had fallen on the tent the night before, together with the high wind, caused the structure to collapse, resulting in considerable damage to articles inside. Mr. Mackey's loss is between $250 and $300; but with characteristic grit he gathered his paraphernalia together and located himself in the Adkins block, where he is now ready to do business with his friends both old and new--and you are expected to look pleasant while the erstwhile redheaded photographer presses the button.
Medford Mail, January 30, 1903
    H. C. Mackey, the Medford photographer who took the photos of the graduating class of the Jacksonville High School at his gallery last  Saturday, was in Jacksonville Wednesday with his proofs of the pictures and delivering pictures on a number of other orders he had from persons in this place. Mr. Mackey has the distinction of taking the pictures of the graduating class of the Jacksonville High School at the close of each term for the past nine years, an honor that he appreciates very much.

    Frank Hull:--"Last week I told the Mail readers in an advertisement that I was going to take orders for Christmas photos for H. C. Mackey & Boyd, and that I was going to give away a present. I've made different arrangements--that is, Messrs. Mackey & Boyd have. When I went to them to close up the agreement we couldn't come to a satisfactory understanding of affairs as I remembered had previously been talked--and it was all off. I simply offer this in explanation of the why I will not be able to live up to the promises made in the advertisement. I hope, however, to soon commence taking orders for G. W. Mackey & Dunlap."

MACKEY & HULL (1903)
George Mackey, Frank H. Hull
    E. L. Chapale has sold his interest in the photograph gallery to F. H. Hull. It will be Mackey & Hull hereafter. Mr. Hull is a rustling young man, and the new firm should secure their full share of the picture business of this city.
"Local News Notes," Medford Success, December 16, 1902, page 1
    Frank Hull, of Mackey & Hull, the photographers, has been doing some fine view work of late of Medford and vicinity. He has taken several views from the top of the water tower that show up well and from them a stranger could get a good idea as to the appearance of Medford. He has two views of this valley, taken with a very powerful telescopic lens, that are gems in the photographer's art. They are taken from the high butte back of Jacksonville. One was taken on a day when there was a heavy fog in the valley. The fog made the valley appear like a great lake, the surface of which was broken by long, sweeping swells, or possibly more like a great snowfield. The fog was only about 300 feet deep and the surrounding hills and the mountains, with their covering of snow, stood out clear and bold in the bright sunshine that prevailed above the fog. Ashland, Medford, Jacksonville, Central Point and the places in the valley were completely hidden and only by the topography of the surrounding country could their locations be fixed. As a companion piece to this fog scene Mr. Hull took another view from the same butte of the valley when it was filled with sunshine instead of with fog. The broad, level expanse of the valley, on which Medford and the other nearby towns can be plainly seen, with Mt. Pitt, Wagner Butte and historic old Table Rock for a background, makes a view hard to equal by any of the grand scenery of the Coast. In addition to these scenes Mr. Hull has many others of pretty and interesting views of various places and points about the valley. A collection of his pictures would make an appreciated present to friends in the East as well as to be a good advertisement of this country.

LEW W. MARBLE (1912-14)
    Mr. and Mrs. L. W. Marble of York, Neb. last Tuesday took possession of the Camps Studio and will enter the field of photography in Ashland. In addition to the regular work of photography Mr. and Mrs. Marble will add other features, including enlarging, water coloring, tinting, work in oils, and all other departments of a first-class studio. Both Mr. and Mrs. Marble are artists of wide reputation. Mrs. Marble's specialty is watercolor work. She has painted for a Denver firm for the past nine years and is still a contributor to their stock. They were attracted here by the scenic beauty, the undeveloped resources and the wide possibilities of this city and are well pleased with their selection of a home. It is their intention to build up a large business here, the influence of which will be far-reaching. They are confident the field is wide open for their class of work.
"Marble Succeed Camps," Ashland Tidings, July 15, 1912, page 1
    Mr. L. W. Marble, an experienced photographer, has leased the Camps Studio of this city and is now prepared to serve the people of Ashland in everything pertaining to the latest style of photography.

MARTIN & WEILE
A thorough search of the census and several newspaper sites turns up no mention of this prolific 1890s photographer of business and residence views. Robinson cites an 1890-92 Eugene directory listing for the duo. In the same era there was a Pendleton partnership called Weile & Schock, who also go unmentioned in online sources.
    Some traveling photographers are taking views of the leading business houses and residences in the city. After a time they will appear with these views in the shape of photographs, and offer them for sale at good round prices. The safest way is to patronize your local artists.

    Messrs. Harding and Mayer, two recent arrivals from Los Angeles, have opened a photographic gallery in a tent opposite the opera house, where they are now prepared to serve the public with anything in their line. These gentlemen expect to become permanent residents of our city and have leased the Stewart residence on Oak Street and have moved their families into the same. Mrs. Harding has been in this section for the past three months and, becoming very enthusiastic over the climate and business prospects, induced her husband and his associate to dispose of their California interests and come here to reside.

McBRIDE & CASE (1891-92)
    T. S. Porter, agent for McBride & Case, the Medford photographers, spent a day in Jacksonville this week. The firm is doing first-class work.
"Local Notes," Democratic Times, Jacksonville, August 14, 1891, page 3
    The photograph gallery of McBride & Case, which has recently been opened in Medford, is indeed worthy of patronage. The work done by these gentlemen is of the very best quality, as many specimens in the gallery will attest. They make a specialty of enlarging pictures, and citizens should not patronize any transient rustler for work of this kind. Theirs is equal to any done in large cities and far superior to much which is turned out. Photographs are at present being made at reduced rates, and parties should take advantage of them.

EDWARD H. MITCHELL/SOUVENIR PUBLISHING
San Francisco--somehow affiliated with P.N.C.
    Edward H. Mitchell (San Francisco) is issuing a very attractive set of souvenir postal cards which illustrate bits of life among the Indians of the Southwest. The use of the colored cards, which originated in Europe, has become so general that as a consequence all that is most beautiful in our American scenery is being pictured with a view to showing that Europe with its historic ruins has not exhausted all types of the picturesque. The improvements made in the art of photography render it possible to make even a postal card a thing of beauty. Indian life loses its squalor and shows only its esthetic side in a picture. This set of cards, with their pretty coloring, make the Indian seem the attractive creature he is supposed to be by those who live too far from his haunts to know him as he really is. (Price 30 cents per dozen.)
San Francisco Call, January 19, 1902, page 12
    Mr. Mitchell also offers a very interesting souvenir in the shape of a unique deck of playing cards. The deck contains the usual fifty-two cards and joker and is suitable for playing all card games. The back design shows Mt. Hood in colors and on the face of each card is a view from some part of the state of Oregon, picturing the various industries, such as mining, fishing, agriculture and timber scenes, etc. It makes quite a handsome and useful present. The price is $1.
"Literary Notes," San Francisco Call, August 3, 1902, page 12
    Edward H. Mitchell, the publisher of Pacific Coast souvenirs, has just brought out a new set of twelve colored postcards that will be found most acceptable to those who enjoy the fad of sending a line to a friend in the East or abroad and a souvenir picture at the same time. The views are as follows: The Golden Gate; United States Mint, San Francisco; Claus Spreckels Building; City Hall; Sutro Baths; Tavern of Tamalpais; Cliff House; Mission San Antonio; Mount Lowe Incline;  Mission Church, Monterey; Yosemite Valley, and Chinese Children of California. These cards retail at 30 cents per dozen.
San Francisco Call, August 10, 1902, page 12
    Edward H. Mitchell of San Francisco, the art publisher, has just brought out a new set of colored post cards showing views in New York. It may seem rather odd that a San Franciscan should be publishing cards with New York scenes, but it is more readily understood when it is known that Mr. Mitchell and one other firm are the only two houses in the United States at present doing this class of work. . . .

THOMAS NASH
    W. E. Coman, general passenger agent of the S.P. Co.'s lines in Oregon, and a party, among whom was Thos. Nash, an expert polyscope operator, has been visiting this section and Southern Oregon. The object of the trip, which lasted about a week, was to secure moving pictures illustrating the scenery along the company's line in Southern Oregon and nearby California scenic wonders. Rogue River Valley and Cow Creek Canyon are principal among important bits of scenery that were secured. Some time was spent visiting grain fields, orchards and other places where good views of pursuits followed in Oregon were obtained. For a part of, if not the entire distance, while pictures were taken, the party traveled by special train. An engine was attached to the private car and this coach shoved ahead of the locomotive, giving a clear and unobstructed view of the scenery. The pictures are intended for use in the immigration work of the Harriman Chicago bureau.

    In the last five years there has grown up in Medford an industry which for volume and quality of product exceeds anything of the kind on the Pacific Coast, yet so unobtrusively has it grown that many Medford people scarcely realize its existence. We refer to the Patterson Studio.
    The Pattersons located here because of the opportunities offered by the unparalleled scenic features of Southern Oregon and Northern California.
    Two branches of work are produced, both being scenic in character and sold only to the wholesale trade.
    First: The PATTERSON PICTURES, which are hand colored in oil photographs, featuring especially Crater Lake. These find an outlet through the Crater Lake National Park Co., being sold exclusively at the Crater Lake Lodge, and through the Portland connections of the Patterson Studio.
    "Mrs. Patterson and I do all our own coloring in order to maintain the standard of our work," Mr. Patterson explained in an interview requested by the Mail Tribune for the New Year edition. "Three years ago the demand outgrew our supply, and we have since found it necessary to limit the market to fewer and still fewer authorized dealers."
    The enlarging apparatus installed at the Patterson Studio is the most efficient in the state and we are told by those in a position to know that pictures such as the one at the Jackson County Bank, at the Copco office in this city, at the first National Bank in Grants Pass and at Endert's Drug Store in Crescent City cannot be duplicated by any other studio in the Northwest.
    The second branch of work produced is the PATTERSON POST CARDS. These are photographic cards of scenic subjects only. Like many other industries which produce a five-cent article, the tremendous number of sales results in a business of surprising volume.
    There are two hundred and twenty-eight dealers handling the PATTERSON POST CARDS, distributed over the Pacific Highway from Eugene to Redding and on the Redwood Highway from Grants Pass to Ukiah, California. One hundred and ten of these dealers are supplied with PATTERSON display racks, which are an innovation in this sort of equipment.
    The largest dealer in PATTERSON POST CARDS is the Oregon Caves Resort at the Oregon Caves, where these photographic cards are sold exclusively.
    In 1926 more scenic photo cards were sold by the Patterson Studio than by any other scenic photographer in the West, and in 1927 there were nearly twice as many cards produced here as by any other western plant of the kind.
    To satisfy the demand for cards in 1927 required a staff of eight skilled workers employed at the Patterson Studio.
    The business depends almost entirely upon the tourist trade, and its value to Medford lies in the fact that it acts as a magnet for rolling tourist dollars amounting to thousands annually. The advertising value of such a great number of pictures of this mid-Pacific Empire can scarcely be overestimated.
Medford Mail Tribune, January 1, 1928, real estate section, page 8
    "More than a million postcard scenes, including in their scope beauty spots between Cottage Grove and Redding, will be produced this year by the Patterson studios.
    "This figure is 60 percent greater than the number of southern Oregon and northern California postcard views made last year by the studios, Frank Patterson, owner, said yesterday. These postcards form one of southern Oregon's greatest advertising mediums.
    "Each year for the past seven years the studios have been making increasing numbers of pictures of this section. This year three times as many new scenes were ‘shot' as have been taken in any other previous year--now photos numbering 500 or more.
    "Four years ago the Patterson studios reached their limit in producing colored photos, chiefly Crater Lake views. Since then they have turned down many orders, Mr. Patterson said.
    "When asked what single picture was the best settler, Mr. Patterson displayed--not a photo of Crater Lake--but one of a huge redwood stump 11 feet across and 2,500 years old. Between its roots lies a fallen Sequoia giant 2,000 years old, which has lain there 2,500 years while the other tree grew around and over it.
    "Scenes of highway curves in the Siskiyous and near Crescent City are the next best sellers. As a subject, however, Crater Lake pictures sell best and the Oregon Caves resort is the biggest handler of scenic views.
    "Mr. Patterson's plant now employs eight persons, and automatic printing machines will be kept busy preparing the million prints for the tourists and home people to send to their friends in Florida and Maine."
Medford Daily News, June 25, 1929, page 8
    I. F. Koenig, connected with the Patterson Photo Service, plans to leave in a short time for Santa Rosa, Cal., where the headquarters of the service is now located, after having been in Medford some time. However, representatives of the company will make regular trips through this section, and Patterson postcards will continue to be sold in Medford and other Southern Oregon cities. Redwood and Coast Highway scenes will be principally featured henceforth. The Patterson interests have purchased the postcard business that had been carried on here by B. R. Harwood.

PATTON POST CARD CO. (1908-18)
Salem, Oregon postcard publisher
Edwin Cooke Patton
Born: Salem, Oregon, August 12, 1868
Died: Woodburn, Oregon, December 24, 1929
    Patton Post Card Company was in business from 1908 until World War I and was operated in connection with Patton Brothers bookstore in Salem. Pictures were of a very fine black and white quality, each card printed by hand. Later, in order to meet competition, Patton was forced into selling the cheaper cards which were machine printed.
    Patton was the grandson of E. N. Cooke, Oregon state treasurer in the 1860s and from one of Salem's most prominent families. Patton had a variety of interests ranging from photography to being a magician.
    The postcard business was taken over by the Pacific Photo Company owned by Eugene Everette Lavalleur. The latter had been the cameraman for some of the best of the Patton cards. Lavalleur operated the business for several years in Salem and then sold to Charles Wesley Andrews of Baker. Today many of the negatives are in the files of the Oregon Historical Society.

PEASLEY'S PHOTOGRAPHIC ARTS (1917-25 Portland, 1927-36 Medford)
Albert E. and Lorane M. Peasley
    Mr. and Mrs. Albert Peasley, formerly of Portland, have purchased the Issott Studio, 331 East Main Street, and will operate it under the name of "The Peasleys Photographic Art." The name was originated by Mr. Peasley when he opened a studio in Portland twelve years ago, and the fact that the Peasley name is still used in connection with the Portland studio is an evidence of their photographic reputation.
    Like many Oregonians, the Peasleys got the California fever, and worked in studios in Oakland and San Francisco. Deciding to go into business for themselves again, they went to Klamath Falls where they burned out last summer, after which they returned to San Francisco, where Mr. Peasley worked and Mrs. Peasley was head color artist at the Bossum studio.
    Seeking another location, after making a thorough investigation of the coast, they decided to locate in Medford. They are bringing here new ideas in lighting and mounting, as well as the latest and best equipment in their line.
    They will continue Mr. Issott's idea in specializing in baby pictures, as they formerly did in their Portland studio. The first offering in fine pictures will be "photo miniatures," which Mr. Peasley says will be sure to meet with favor with those interested in small portraits and yet having the distinctiveness of the larger work.
    Mrs. Peasley formerly lived in Medford, her name being Lorene M. Hannen, and left here about ten years ago to study color work and retouching in Los Angeles, later joining Mr. Peasley at the Portland studio.

CHARLES PENNISTON
    A beautiful photograph of a rose, the work of W. [sic] Penniston, is on exhibition in Whited's window. The delicate lines of the photo make it look more like a perfect piece of sketching than a photograph. It is a realistic example of real art in photography.
"Local and Personal," Ashland Tidings, June 10, 1915, page 5
    Two beautiful enlargements of photographs of Ghirke Falls, taken by Charles Penniston, are displayed in the windows of Whited's store. The falls are located on the slope of Grizzly Peak, six miles from the city.

State Line Herald, Lakeview, August 2, 1879, page 3
    Notice the advertisement of J. W. Riggs, in another column. Mr. Riggs claims to take the best pictures that may be had in Southern Oregon, and his past reputation fully sustains his claim. His new gallery is a great improvement over any he has had before, and the work which he has already done here is his best recommendation. He has been kept quite busy since opening his new rooms, notwithstanding the cloudy weather.
Ashland Tidings, January 16, 1880, page 3
    J. W. Riggs is now doing some of the best work in photography that has ever been done in Oregon, or anywhere else, outside of the large cities, and his samples of photographs taken in the new gallery will bear comparison with the best work of city artists.

    J. W. Riggs, our photographer, is turning out some of the finest work that has ever been done in Coos County.

MABEL RUSSELL
    Miss Russell returned Tuesday evening from Crater Lake, where she has been for the past few weeks taking pictures and doing color work for F. H. Kiser, the official photographer of the Crater Lake Company. She has some of the most wonderful views of Crater Lake that have ever been taken. Prior to going to the lake she took photographs of Mount Shasta, and she also has some of these that are wonderful.
    One of her greatest achievements is a sunset picture taken by Mr. Kiser and colored by her. It is a marvel of soft, harmonious color--picturing the soft orange sunset, with the silver-lined clouds half obscuring the sun. One cannot believe that such a picture could be possible until the original photograph is scanned. Miss Russell is now in he permanent employ of Kiser Bros. and will paint pictures and do color work for the Crater Lake Company's exhibit at the exposition.
    One of the prize winners that Miss Russell is going to paint for the fair will be in a series of three pictures, the first representing a beautiful forest section, the second a raging forest fire, and the third the burned-off land.
    Miss Russell leaves Friday for Montague, where she will join F. H. Kiser, A. L. Parkhurst, president of the Crater Lake Company, and Miss Anna Schrade, the manager of the Crater Lake Company. For the next few weeks she will color photographs of scenes around Mount Shasta, having the actual scenes for the color work. Miss Russell is certainly making a great success of her work as an artist.

The Jacksonville Miner, February 26, 1932, page 2
    Verne Shangle, staff photographer and portrait maker of note, has been credited with bringing some of the most advanced, up-to-date methods to local residents formerly available only in centers of population such as San Francisco and Portland.
    Futuristic backgrounds, cubistic settings and more conservative layouts have been designed by the photographer, whose marked success has been due to his adherence to the principle that quality, and quality alone, build for permanence in business. Shangle has the honor of designing several illustrations to be used in advertising Pacific Northwest pears to the entire world and brings this work to southern Oregon for the first time. His photographs competed with those of foremost experts up and down the entire coast
    In addition to offering far superior work Mr. Shangle also is making a special inducement to school students this spring--not only does he offer incomparable craftsmanship and artistry but also, for a few more days, he will grant all scholars and graduates desiring portraits a special reduction in prices, which will mean quite a saving to southern Oregon.
    Verne Shangle is located on the third floor of the Medford Building in Medford.

    APPLEGATE, Jan. 23.--(Spl.)--Verne Shangle, Medford photographer, was in this region recently getting a location on various places and objects, such as property lines, gulches and mountains, preparatory to taking pictures later from the air. He expects to work the Applegate country to the state line and eventually to cover the entire county. At present he is working from Ashland west. The pictures are to be used by real estate agents, miners, prospectors and newcomers instead of maps in locating their property lines.
Medford Mail Tribune, January 23, 1933, page 3
    A picture of the Pioneer Reunion of [1898] has been unearthed, and its enlargement by Verne Shangle will be one of the features of the annual Jackson County Pioneers Reunion, at Ashland Thursday.
    By the enlargement the identity of the faces in the picture will be easier. Col. F. L. TouVelle has offered a prize of $10 for the pioneer who provides the most names of those present, Already a Jacksonville pioneer has picked out close to 50.
    At the 1895 reunion Mrs. William Warner aided in serving the banquet, and her father, Judge W. M. Colvig, was one of the orators.
Medford Mail Tribune, September 19, 1933, page 5
    J. Verne Shangle came to Medford in September, 1917, after having been associated with many of the leading photo studios or Portland, Oregon.
    Since his arrival in Medford has had been located in the Medford Bldg., except for a short time when he was located over the Lamport sporting goods store, during the last few months of 1927.
    At the present time the Shangle Studio is classed as one of the largest and finest equipped studios between Portland and Sacramento, Calif. The class of photographs made by this studio has brought it recognition not only in this territory, but at the Pacific Coast conventions, where, the two times photographs were exhibited in competition, Salon Honors were won twice--these honors being the highest photographic award bestowed by a photographers' convention, and this studio is the only one between Eugene and Sacramento to ever wine.
    Mr. Shangle is a progressive business man of this territory--a member, and chairman of the membership committee of the Medford Chamber of Commerce, which organization has done so much for this territory during the last six months. The membership committee has set a record for increase in membership that has received national comment. He is also a member of the general committee of the Oregon Diamond Jubilee celebration to be held in Medford next June 3rd (week of June 3rd). Mention of the Medford Chamber of Commerce prompts us here to mention that the major activity of that organization is agricultural development, a very worthy program, and it has already done some wonderful work for the farmer.
    M. Shangle is grateful for the patronage and support he has received and, during the course of conversation with our correspondent, stated: "Our success has been due to always making a photograph that is as good as can be made. We spare no expense in making photographs, in fact, the byword of our workroom is: 'THE PHOTOGRAPH MUST BE GOOD'."

    Extensive alterations, which will include complete redecorating and rearrangements of displays, are under way this week at the studios in the Medford Building of J. Verne Shangle, photographer of personality portraits. . . .

J. Verne Shangle
    The new Shangle-Butler Studio, one of the most attractive and modern photographic studios in Oregon, will make its debut to southern Oregon people this evening between the hours of seven and eleven o'clock, and a cordial invitation to the public to attend the formal opening has been extended by J. Verne Shangle and Miss Jeunesse Butler, its proprietors. And those who attend the opening tonight may expect a real surprise, as the new studio is a model of its kind.

The main studio adjoins this reception room and is arranged so that the most difficult photographic work may be easily handled. The best studio lighting facilities are provided, and the most up-to-date equipment has been installed. An exhibit room and a dressing room have also been provided for the convenience of patrons at the Shangle-Butler Studio.

While in the Rose City, Mr. Shangle won a reputation for his excellent photographs of children and was considered an authority on child photography. Recently he established a headquarters with the Harwood Photo Studio, where he handled his photographic business prior to the opening of the present Medford Building studio.
    Miss Butler has been identified with business activities in this city for several years, and she is well fitted to fill the capacity of business manager of the Shangle-Butler Studio. Miss Butler has also been active in musical circles of this city, and at the present is engaged in newspaper work. Her many friends in Medford are wishing her success in her new enterprise.
Medford Mail Tribune, January 14, 1928, page 3

Mr. Shangle came to Medford last fall, and for a while engaged in portrait work at the Harwood Studio, afterward opening a fine new studio in his present location. He has enjoyed a successful business from that time, and has started the first camera club in this city, which has interested a large number of local camera enthusiasts. Miss Butler will devote her time to writing and newspaper work, in which she has been engaged in the past three years.

He and Mrs. Smith have been operating the Classic Studio since Feb. 15, when they purchased the location of the former Arbuckle and Moran photos.
"Local and Personal," Medford Mail Tribune, September 19, 1954, page 6     An illustrated article in the last issue of The Rangefinder, professional magazine for photographers, was adapted from a letter by Dwaine Smith of Medford's Classic Studio.
   Entitled "Shakespeare Never Knew How Much He Needed a Photographer," the material concerns Mr. Smith's work as staff photographer for the Oregon Shakespeare Festival at Ashland.
    The photographer begins the season by taking identification pictures of each company member, then takes portraits of those in the cast and on the staff, these numbering about 90, and makes about 16 special photographs for the festival program.
    In addition Mr. Smith takes dozens of publicity shots for newspapers and magazines, and during the time the plays are in production takes stage shots after performances.
    In the article Mr. Smith gave details of the type of equipment he uses and other information of interest to professional photographers. Mr. Smith closes his Medford studio during the time of the festival season, and does little photography outside of his festival schedule.
    Mr. Smith and his wife, who assists with the studio work, were in Portland recently for the Pacific International Photographs meeting, held at the Sheraton Hotel. Four of Mr. Smith's portraits were selected for the exhibit, which was a part of the convention. One was of Philip Hanson, actor, another was a wedding portrait of the former Sally Harris, the third was a portrait of Miss Sandy Cauble and the fourth a profile of Sandra Carmichael.

CARLYLE F. STOUT
Postcards marked Ashland, OR ©1993
    Stout is giving [postcards] a new dimension, and that's not just because his cards are 4 by 6 inches. The Ashland amateur photographer is injecting the local touch into a watered-down, generic market.
    For the past month, the attorney by trade has spent portions of his weekends hopping from door to door, showing off the postcards of six snappy shots he took of Ashland and the surrounding area. . . .
    Stout . . . sank $2,700 into 30,000 cards--5,000 copies of each picture. Under the business name of Lithia Photography, he is trying to turn a lifetime hobby into a profitable venture. . . .
    When Stout decided to jump into the postcard biz, he faced a small dilemma--what scenes should he use? He decided one major criterion, besides the quality of the cards, would be subject matter that appealed to tourists and locals.
    First, he thought, he needed a good view of Ashland proper. That was accomplished with a picture taken from the east hills, in which a group of grazing cows in the foreground conveniently masks Interstate 5.
    The Oregon Shakespeare Festival, naturally, earned two cards. For the last three, he chose two beautific [sic] winter views of Crater Lake and a panoramic look at snow-covered Mount McLoughlin.

    TYLER--At her home in Ashland on Friday, Dec. 30th, 1892, Mrs. Mae E. Tyler, aged 41 years.
    She was born in Grant Co., Wis., in the year 1851, her maiden name being Willis, and grew up to womanhood in that state. Part of her education was received at the State Normal School in Platteville, though previous to going there, Miss Willis had taught school, as well as after leaving Platteville. There she became acquainted with her husband, Mr. G. H. Tyler, and in 1876 they were married in Yreka, Cal. After her marriage Mrs. Tyler taught school for two years, until her health failed, and work became impossible.
    Closing out his business in Cal., Mr. and Mrs. Tyler spent some time in traveling up and down the Coast, hoping to recover her lost health and strength. They went north as far as Eugene City in 1884, and settled in Ashland in the summer of 1885, where they have since had their home.
    In 1886 Mrs. Tyler went back to Wisconsin to revisit old friends and learn the photographic business, and on her return opened a gallery in Ashland, which she has managed ever since with increasing reputation and success, her work rapidly bringing her in to rank with the best artists in the state.
    She was a member of the Episcopal Church, being confirmed in that communion by Bishop Winfield of California in the year 1878.
    She was buried from the Congregational Church in Ashland on Sunday, Jan. 1st, 1893, according to the rites of her own church, the large attendance testifying to the general respect in which she was held.
Ashland Tidings, January 1893
    Mrs. M. E. Tyler of Ashland, the well-known photographer, died last Saturday and was buried the following day. She had contracted a severe cold, which developed into a case of pneumonia that proved fatal. Mrs. Tyler was a lady of much intelligence and many estimable qualities, and her death is generally regretted.
"Here and There," Democratic Times, Jacksonville, January 6, 1893, page 3
    Mr. Wirth, the manager of this company, has leased the Tyler gallery in Ashland and has combined the same with their galleries now located in the principal towns of the valley. They are enterprising and reliable as well as first-class artists and by the combination of the business are enabled to give their patrons the benefit of fine artistic work at the lowest prices. Remember the place, the Tyler gallery on Main Street.

TYLER & MISER (1895)
W. L. Tyler and Haver L. Miser
    Messrs. Tyler & Miser have purchased the Wirth photograph gallery in Medford and are now turning themselves loose in executing a great amount of very fine work. These gentlemen are both first-class artists and they promise the patrons of the gallery nothing but the best of work, at reasonable prices. A special feature with them will be promptness in the delivery of work--always when promised.
"News of the City," Medford Mail, January 18, 1895, page 5
    Tyler & Miser, the new photographers, have a new ad this week. These gentlemen promise superior work and swift execution of same--you get your photos even to a clock tick with the date promised.

    Photographer H. L. Miser has been taking pictures of other people's babies for a time without date, but now there is an opportunity given for him to do a little work of this nature in his own family. Last Saturday there arrived at his home "one of the cutest little subjects" for a picture in the city--a girl baby, and all parties are happy and healthy, and H. L. is a "bigger man as Grant."
"News of the City," Medford Mail, May 10, 1895, page 5

UNIVERSAL COPYING COMPANY
    ELEGANT PICTURES.--We were last week shown some samples of first-class work in the line of enlarged pictures executed by the Universal Copying Company of San Francisco. They were, if anything, improvements on the original photographs and finished in elegant style. The agent, Jas. Griffin, took several orders while in Jacksonville, and, as he will return in a few weeks, this public can have another opportunity of judging for itself.
Democratic Times, Jacksonville, July 4, 1879, page 3
    At the express office in this place could be seen an accurate and finely finished picture of C. C. Beekman, enlarged from a photograph by the Universal Copying Company of San Francisco.

     The Ober-Redden gallery has changed hands. Before having your Christmas work done see samples at Van E's studio, opposite post office, Medford.
    L. C. Van Exxe, a photographer from Portland, has leased the Redden gallery for several months and will probably purchase the same. He is a thoroughly competent artist and will give every detail of his work his personal attention. His specialty is all lines of high-grade work.
"City Happenings," Medford Mail, December 9, 1898, page 7
    Something nice for a Christmas present--unique and beautiful photo buttons, brooches stick pins, cuff buttons, watch charms, lockets and watch case pictures from 25 cents up. Bring a good photo and leave all orders at Van E's studio, opposite post office.
"City Happenings," Medford Mail, December 16, 1898, page 7
    The Redden gallery in Medford, on C Street, is now conducted by L. C. Van Exxe, an artist of ability, who will spare no pains to please the public. He employs the latest methods in photography, and his work is strictly first-class and up to date. When you are in that town don't fail to give him a call.
"Changed Hands," Democratic Times, Jacksonville, December 22, 1898, page 3 et seq.
    If you want little stamp photos we make them 50 for 50 cents. Do not get the little stamp-size pictures others make confused with the large diamond multiple. Photos at 75 cents per dozen--made only at Van E's studio.
"City Happenings," Medford Mail, April 28, 1899, page 7
    Everything that Van E does is copied and imitated. Go to Van E's studio, where you get the advantage of original ideas in posing and finishing and don't take anything second hand.
"City Happenings," Medford Mail, May 12, 1899, page 7
    The excellency of our work has "buried" our competitors "in photographs" so deep that they never will be "resurrected," next week or next month or next year. They may think so but they won't. Van E does his own retouching. It is not sent to cheap-John students in Portland as others do. No unsatisfactory work is forced on you at Van E's studio, Medford.

    Van Exxe, the photographer, and Geo. Mackey, the photographer, have formed a partnership and are now doing business together in the gallery opposite the post office. During the summer and fall months Mr. Mackey will have charge of the gallery work and Mr. Van Exxe will travel over the valley and into the mountains taking farm, mine and group views. Both are first-class artists, and they ought to do a good business. Mr. Mackey was formerly in partnership with H. C. Mackey in the photographing business in this city.

    Van Exxe and Geo. Mackey, the well-known artists, have formed a partnership.
"Medford Squibs," Democratic Times, Jacksonville, August 7, 1899, page 3
    The photographers Van Exxe and Mackey have dissolved partnership, Mr. Mackey having purchased his partner's interest in the gallery, opposite the Mail office. This is Mr. G. W. Mackey, and he is an artist of years' experience, and has a reputation of making only first-class work. He is not a stranger to Medford people, he having resided here for some time, and has made photographs for many of them--all of whom are loud in their praise of his superior work. Mr. Van Exxe is not now in the city.
"City Happenings," Medford Mail, September 1, 1899, page 7
     Van Exxe, the alleged photographer, who has been in business here during the past several months, has levanted, leaving a number of creditors to regret the confidence they placed in the fellow. The public should look out for him.

FREDERICK A. WALPOLE
Not a photographer, but an artist specializing at the time in bird's-eye town views.
    Fred A. Walpole, an artist now in town, has just completed a map of this place showing the streets as well as the different business houses and residences in the town. He proposes having the same lithographed and sell copies to those who wish to purchase at $5 each. We have seen the original draft and pronounce it fine and correct. Give him an order and ornament your parlor with one of the copies.

    PICTURE OF ASHLAND.--The view of Ashland, sketched by Fred A. Walpole, will be lithographed at one of the best eastern lithographing establishments, and will be ready for delivery to those who purchase it in about ten months. It will be a beautiful picture--and a faithful one--of the town as it is today. Nearly every building in town is shown, the point of view being above the mining ditch, west of town. Mr. Walpole has left Ashland and has authorized us to receive subscriptions for the picture, the price of which is $5, payable when the picture is delivered.

It is a good view of the place, and those who would like to preserve a picture of the town as it was before the railroad came should secure a copy. Already, since the drawing was made, new buildings have been put up, and the appearance of the town considerably changed. The picture can be seen at Fountain's store, where copies will be received.

WESTERN CARD CO.
Numbers overlap with A-M Card Co. postcards. Some cards have "A-M" imperfectly erased and replaced by "Western Card Co."
    Reedley, [California,] at one time had a company that made picture postcards in the early 1900s.
    The Western Card Company was operated by George A. Besaw and Edwin X. Anderson, and made a specialty of souvenir postcards. . . . Orders for thousands of cards were being received daily from different parts of the county. Scenery had been taken in many parts of the coast states, California, Oregon, Washington, and several other states.

    Miss Alta Brous, formerly of this city, was married at Prairie City, Iowa, last Sunday to Mr. Edward Weston, a photographer of that city, and a gentleman of good habits and one prominent among the business and social circles of that city. Miss Alta is a daughter of Mrs. F. M. Brous, of Medford, and the young lady has many friends hereabouts who are wishing the newly married couple much happiness and prosperity.
"News of the City," Medford Mail, October 4, 1895, page 5
    Mrs. Ed Weston went to Des Moines the first of the week. From there she expects soon to go to Medford, Oregon, to visit her parents. Mr. Weston will go with his gallery away from here as soon as the weather is settled. Mr. Sarber will accompany him on his travels this summer.
"Prairie City Press," Newton Record, Newton, Iowa, March 24, 1898, page 5
    Mrs. Alta Weston (nee Brous) arrived in Medford Monday with her baby girl, and will visit until fall with relatives and friends hereabouts. Mr. Weston is a photographer and has his headquarters at Prairie City, Iowa, but during the summer he folds his tent and travels from place to place taking pictures, hence the protracted visit of Mrs. W. Albert Brous, who formerly resided in Medford, is at Prairie City engaged in law practice and is doing well.
"Purely Personal," Medford Mail, April 29, 1898, page 6
    Ed. Weston, of Prairie City, Iowa, arrived in Medford last week and will probably remain here for some time. Mr. W. is a photographer and will do some work for H. C. Mackey during his stay. Mrs. Weston (nee Alta Brous) and the baby arrived a couple or three weeks ago. It was the serious illness of the baby last week with pneumonia which brought Mr. W. here at this particular time. The baby has recovered from pneumonia, but is now ill with whooping cough.

    Dr. O. F. Demorest, the Lakeview dentist, formerly of Medford, writes that everything is lovely in that country and that Mackey and Weston, the photographers, have arrived there. He further writes that Mr. Mackey became so thoroughly famished on his way over that he ate mule--to succor the inner man until a more palatable food could be secured. The above named gentlemen returned to Medford Monday. From their appearance we judge there was an absence of even mule meat on their return. Mr. Mackey says he has a "gentle sufficiency" of camping out.

    Ed. Weston, the photographer, and son-in-law of Mrs. M. E. Brous, left Sunday for Des Moines, Iowa, at which place he is engaged in business. He was called to Medford a few weeks ago by the illness of his child, who with its mother is visiting here.

    E. D. Weston, the photographer, farmer and all-round hustler, who has devoted much of his time this season to his alfalfa ranch near Grants Pass, is also unconsciously becoming a miner. In describing work on the ranch today, he said: "Yes, the alfalfa prospect is fine. It shows up richer and richer as we get further into it. We will have the first cutting on the dump before the first of June and ready for the concentrator soon thereafter. We expect to make three shipments to the smelter before the season is closed. Our alfalfa this year will easily assay $15 to the ton, and owing to general scarcity of feed may run up to $18. We will crosscut the main crop early in July and have the entire yield in the shape of a gold brick in September." It should be explained that Mr. Weston's alfalfa ranch is surrounded by mining claims. Otherwise, Mr. Weston is physically and mentally all right.

Valley Record, Ashland, November 22, 1894, page 4

    SAN FRANCISCO, May 2.--Henry L. Baddeley, a plumber, was shot and mortally wounded tonight by Mrs.William Worthington, wife of a photographer on the Examiner. The tragedy occurred on the Washington Street wharf, about 6 o'clock. The immediate cause is unknown, but the homicide doubtless grew out of recent relations of the woman with Baddeley. Two years ago Mrs. Worthington eloped with Baddeley while her husband was in Europe.
"Shot Her Persecutor," Los Angeles Herald, May 3, 1893, page 1
    The Worthington murder trial in San Francisco is of peculiar local interest to some Ashland people, as the injured husband of the woman who killed her seducer, Baddeley, lived in Ashland about ten years ago, and ran a photograph gallery in the Baldwin block on Granite Street. He was a good artist and went in the best society. His wife also took pictures, and some were "to suit the trade" of some of Ashland's best-built young ladies. When some of the pictures escaped from the hands of their owners, the local gossips convened the sewing circles into extraordinary sessions.--[Ashland Record.
