H.S Farquhar name card

Another item found was this very simple name card.

The Artura Photo Paper Co 1908 letter addressed to F.S. Farquhar

            Found among the old papers that were kept in the old Farquhar home, was this letter from The Artura                                     Photo Paper Company dated  Dec,1908. Its interesting to look at the costs
of photography supplies.

Horace Stamped Envelope

It appears that Horace family started stamping rather than printing his envelopes
and I've not sure of the time these were in use.

H.S Farquhar Photographer, Fayette City, PA

As I sifted through all the old photos again, I found  this envelope, and H.S Farquhar now finally describes himself as a photographer. A small photo negative of a small child was found in the envelope below
Along with this were letters from friends and family, and associates, corresponding with him asking for copies of prints or appointments for a photo session. He was said to have worked in photography shops, but appears he also took photos at homes, and business.
