No Left Town Yet - Messrs. Summers & Tileston would respectfully inform their old friends and customers and the public generally, that they have suspended their Daguerrean operations for a short time [after a fire] for the purpose of filling up rooms in Dr. Bray's building, over the old post office. Workmen are now busily engaged in putting up a mommoth sky light, etc. and in a few days we shall be better prepared  for taking fine pictures than ever. My30

Evansville Daily Journal, 13 June. 1855, p. 2 
Messrs. Summers & Tileston now open with superior rooms in Dr. Bray's building opp. The Postoffice, in the most central part of the city. Fitted up rooms very neatly and now prepared to take likenesses all kinds of weather. [summarized]

Evansville Daily Journal, 18 June. 1855, p. 4
Once More in the Field. Summers & Tileston, after shaking themselves for a few days from the ashes of the late fire, have fitted up the sky-light rooms over Wm. Hughes' store: corner of Main and Second streets, where they will be happy to see their friends and old customers and the public generally, who wish to preserve the shadow of their friends. 'ere the substance fades. Thanksful for the liberal pataronage extended to them for the past three months, they would respectfully solicit a continuance of the same. Perfect pictures taken at the shortest notice, and entire satisfaction given, or no sale.

Evansville Daily Journal, 2 Oct. 1855, p. 2
Dissolution Notice. The co-partnership heretofore existing between Summers and Tileston is this day dissolved by mutual consent. The business will be continued by W. W. Tileston, who is authorized to settle the business of the late firm. 

The Evansville Daily Journal, 23 Nov. 1855, p. 3
Billy Tileston and his partner are now taking some beautiful Daguerreotypes at the Sun Beam gallery. Drop in, and you can have the opportunity of seeing yourselves as others see you.

Evansville Daily Journal, 9 Feb. 1856, p. 3
Mr. Tileston, the well known Daguerreotypist of this city, is now engaged in taking beautiful ambrotypes, an improvement over the Daguerreotype. The likeness is taken on glass, and before put in the case is transparent when held to the light, but placed before a black ground represent on one side a positive picture and the other a negative. In the case, they resemble a Daguerreotype, but are of much finer tone, free from that shine which prevents the Daguerreotype from being seen to advantage except in a certain light, and are indeed a much more perfect picture. By this process, the eyes are taken perfectly, while by the old way, the eyes of some subjects never can be correctly pictured. The best likeness we have ever had of ourself, was taken by this ambrotype process, and we have been Daguerreotyped innumerable times. We would advise those wanting really good likenesses of themselves to hand down to posterity, or to present to members of the present generation to become ambrotypes at once. Mr. Tileston has been at a heavy expense learning this branch of the art, and improving his rooms, and he deserves a large increase of patronage. His advertisement will give some addition particulars.
Ad p. 2 of same issue: Ambrotypes Taken at the Sun Beam! Having gone to a very heavy expense in learning the process, and in fitting up my rooms to taking Ambrotypes, I am now prepared to put up in the finest style any sized Ambrotypes from a one-ninth to one-half size. The Ambrotype is far superior to the Daguerreotype in tone and beauty, having none of the glare of the Daguerreotype plate, and can be seen in any light. We also take two pictures at one sitting, a positive and a negative picture, and when held to the light it is perfectly transparent. The Ambrotypes are durable, being, when finished, entirely air and water tight, and can be taken in alls kinds of weather. Time for adults for a sitting from 10 to 30 seconds; children from 3 to 10 seconds. Please call and see specimens. PS Daguerreotypes taken in the different sytles. W. W. Tileston

Lengthy letter from E. Z. Webster, the daguerreotypist, to editor Sanders  thanking Evansville citizens from their patronage to him. "allow me to recommend to their kind consideration my friend, Mr. Tileston, who succeeds me in the rooms I occupited. He certainly possesses all the necessary requirements for a successful daguerreotypist, and it only requires -- what he certainly deserves, the patronage of those citizens who may require the services of a daguerreotypist, to make him become a successful operator. This is testimony enough in behalf of Mr. Tileston, but we may add our own so far as to say, we have seen a number of pictures taken by him which we thought fully as good as Webster's own, and that is a high compliment. Mr. T. can be found at the old rooms above the marble works, where he is daily turning out elegant likenesses.--Give him a call." [speculating that this is William Tileston, who was the older of the Tileston Bros.]

Evansville Daily Journal, 22 Mar. 1855, p. 2 
Read the "Shadow and Substance of a conversation" among advertisements. It tells some plain facts about Tilestons Daguerrian Gallery. Tileston is taking just ass good pictures as ever Webster took here, and he deserves a liberal patronage. His partner, Mr. Summer, attends to the ornamental Painting business as formerly.
AD: an imaginary conversation between Joe Shadow and Tom Substance. Mentions: Summers & Tileston's gallery; splendid new stock of cases in a beautiful show case; gold lockets, miniature pins, paper macia, Union, Moroco Gilt, Belt, Kossuth, Velvet and Jewel Cases of all sorts an sizes; mentions myth of not being able to take photos in cloudy weather, large skylight makes the light always strong in the room. "But how is it that they carry on the Sign and Ornamental Painting and the Gallery too? They can't attend to both, certainly. Very easy. You see the sign and ornamental branch is carried on under the immediate supervision of Mr. Summers, while Mr. Tileston turns his whole attention to either branch of the business."

Evansville Daily Journal, 31 Mar. 1855, p. 2 
Ad: Summers & Tileston, having just received a new camera direct from New York, are now fully prepared to take pictures in the best style from a small miniature to a large 1/2 size. They are also prepared with the best light in the city for copying pictures. They guarantee that no picture shall receive injury which may be left in their hands for the above purpose. Summers & Tileston's Gallery, On Main St. Opp. Branch Bank, over the Marble Depot

Evansville Daily Journal, 16 May 1855, p. 2 
Our friends Summers & Tileston lost their entire Daguerrean Gallery at the fire as well as Paint Shop. They were commencing an excellent business, in which they had invested pretty much all their capital. We hope they will soon have another gallery. We promise them all the Journal can do to bring them plenty of customers. [Another article explains that fire started yesterday morning at 3 o'clock and discovered in the rear part of Anderson's Barber shop, on the upper side of Main St. bet. Water and First, and in a row of small frame houses. Messrs. Summers & Tileston's Daguerrean Gallery and Paint shop, above the Marble Depot, were destroyed with every article in them. No insurance. Loss probably $300.

Evansville Daily Journal, 12 June 1855, p. 3

Summers & Tileston would respectfully inform their old friends and customers and the public generally, that they have suspended their Daguerrean operations for a short time for the purpose of filling up rooms in Dr. Bray's building, over the old post office.

The Evansville Daily Journal, 22 June 1859, p. 3 - The Library Association acknowledge the receipt from Tileston Bros. of a very fine photograph likeness of the Rev. Dr. Baird, (large size). Donations of this sort are appreciated. They add to the attractions of the rooms, and besides form a contribution to the stock of the Association, by no means insignificant. A gallery of portraits of eminent literary men would be a very appropriate adornment for the Library Room. And it is hoped that the artist friends of the institution will manage to keep the Association under accumulating obligations for their favors. The portrait of Dr. Baird, besides being a perfect likeness, is, in its mechanical execution, and excellent production. Messrs. Tilestons need no other recommendation that their own work.

Dissolution Notice - The co-partnership heretofore existing between W. W. Tileston, J. D. Randall, and C. M. Tileston, under the name and style Tileston, Randall & Co., was this day dissolved by mutal consent. The business hereafter will be conducted by the Messrs. Tileston, under the name and style of Tileson Bros., who are along authorised to settle the business of the late firm. Jan. 25, 1860
It is with many regrets that I withdraw from the above firm, and in doing so tender my grateful acknowledgments to the numerous customers of the gallery, for their liberal patronage while I was connected with it. The Tileston Brothers, it is well known, are fully competent to sustain the reputation of the Sun Beam Photograph Gallery, and I hope the public will bestow on them the patronage which that establishment justly merits. J. D. Randall. Jan27-2t

Camp Correspondence. Camp Wallace, May 30 - We were shown some splendid photographic representations of the 11th Regiment made by Tileston Bros., which have been prepared for publication in Harper's Weekly. The first picture represents the Reg. in skirmish drill, executing the command "rally by fours." The second, the boys are flat on their faces, Zouave style. This picture while it presents to the beholder an appearance slightly ridiculous, still is representative of the leading principle, of the science of Zouave warfare. The third, is a representation of the Zouave defence, a hollow square, with the officers in the centre. [photographs of the field officers also taken, as well as drawings, all to be sent to Harper's Weekly]

Dissolution Notice - The co-partnership heretofore existing between W. W. Tileston, J. D. Randall, and C. M. Tileston, under the name and style Tileston, Randall & Co., was this day dissolved by mutal consent. The business hereafter will be conducted by the Messrs. Tileston, under the name and style of Tileson Bros., who are along authorised to settle the business of the late firm. Jan. 25, 1860
It is with many regrets that I withdraw from the above firm, and in doing so tender my grateful acknowledgments to the numerous customers of the gallery, for their liberal patronage while I was connected with it. The Tileston Brothers, it is well known, are fully competent to sustain the reputation of the Sun Beam Photograph Gallery, and I hope the public will bestow on them the patronage which that establishment justly merits. J. D. Randall. Jan27-2t

Going Again -- The Tileston Brothers, for two or three months past, have been out of business owing to "a change of base." They are now ready for business in the new and splendid suite of rooms in the new bank building, corner of Main and First streets. They have been to great expense in fitting up these rooms, which they have furnished nicely, and they feel confident that they now have one of the most convenient as well as beautiful galleries in the State. They invite all their old friends to call and see them. The entrance to their rooms is on First street. The way inito the parlor is by a winding stair, and they have many pretty things to show you when you're there.
