Evans & Jones, ??, pre-1900

Bloomington Progress (Bloomington, Indiana), April 30, 1890, p. 3
Harmon Fedder has sold the equipments in his photograph gallery to Mr. Jones of Greencastle, and the last named gentleman will take them to the Evans gallery. Fedder will go back to the painting business, in which he is excelled by no man.

Bloomington Progress (Bloomington, Indiana), August 13, 1890, p. 3
Any one wishing pictures made from the negatives of J. H. Fedder can get them by calling on Evans & Jones. / R. T. Jones, of Evans' north side gallery, is a master of the profession and photographic achievements in all details. / In the person of R. T. Jones, with W. L. Evans, is to be found the finest photographer that has ever been in our midst. A trial at the north side gallery will convince you.
