Indianapolis Daily Sentinel, October 12, 1853, p. 1
City Daguerreian Gallery, Meridian Street, one door north of Washington Street. Messrs. Bowers and Purcell take pleasure in announcing to the ladies and gentlemen of Indianapolis and strangers visiting the city, that they have just opened an elegant set of rooms in Mr. Dunlop's new building, arranged expressly, under their own direction, for a Daguerreian Gallery. Having procured the best and most highly improved and approved instruments, and their materials all being of the very best character, and having a splendid sky and side-light, they feel assured that they are prepared to take pictures which cannot be excelled either as correct likenesses or as specimens of artistic skill. They are enabled by a new and peculiar process, to take pictures of children as perfectly as of adults. Ladies and gentlemen are invited to call and examine specimens.   Jy29dly

Indianapolis Daily Sentinel, March 22, 1854
We were shown yesterday a very large Daguerreotype plate, containing the likeness of George Low, Esq., and the men in his employ at his large carriage manufactory. The likenesses, which are most excellently done, were taken by Bowers & Purcell, Daguerreotypists. They were taken for the employees of Mr. Low, and presented to him by them. Such an incident tells favorably for the sentiment of mutual kindness and respect existing between employer and employees.
