Short article describing the Woman's Journal. "It is published at $2,50 per annum, and all who want to keep the run of the woman movement can do so by calling on Mrs. Throop at Hill's Gallery, or by addressing The Woman's Journal, Boston, Mass."

"Photographic Quackery." Paragraph by photographer, J. A. Hill warning against a set of drummers soliciting old daguerreotypes, photographs, gems, etc. to be copied, enlarged, etc. They represent that such work can not be done here, and that they are in possession of some new process or secret. He states that the work can be done locally.

Greencastle Banner (Greencastle, Indiana), February 22, 1877, p. 3
During his visit at Bloomington J. A. Hill took a number of orders for large pictures. The portraits of well-known citizens which he went down to deliver, gave such satisfaction that one of the oldest merchants of the place took an agency, and will hereafter take orders at that point. Mrs. Throop is an artist, and no mistake, and those who want large, first class, permanent pictures should avail themselves of her skill. Mr. Hill does the photographing, while she finishes them in India ink, or water colors, as may be desired.

Greencastle Banner (Greencastle, Indiana), April 26, 1877, p. 3
Mrs. Throop, the artist, received nine orders for portraits while at Bloomfield.
