OriginalSource: Indianapolis Star, Sept. 11, 1922, p. 10 "Photo Business in Good Season"
[article about the use of photographs in advertising, interview with W. Frank Jones, 703 Wulsin Bldg.] "The studio occupied by Mr. Jones on the seventh floor of the Wulsin building is arranged so that natural lighting displaces to a great extent artificial means of producing light. This element is important, Mr. Jones said, since photographs obtained by natural sunlight are superior ot other types. The studio is equipped with three dark rooms, and hundreds of photographs are tuned out daily."
