"Photographers to Enlarge Business." S. R. Cornish has associated with him his brother, J. R. Cornish, under firm name of Cornish Brothers, with a view to enlarging and extending the business. "The living rooms connected with the studio will be vacated and a fine stock of picture frames and moulding will be added and customers will be able to satisfy their taste in almost any kind of a frame. Another feature to be introduced will be the making of groups in any part of the county -- such as family reunions, class groups, picnic parties, etc. Cornish Brothers will still continue to make the finest grade of card and cabinet photos and enlarged pictures known to the art." Studio on Washington Street, upstairs.
