p. 103 Fort Wayne Photographers: M. L. Jones, 44 Calhoun

Fort Wayne Journal-Gazette (Fort Wayne, Indiana), May 24, 1890, p. 1
"Mr. M. L. Jones, who has a practical knowledge of photograph in all its branches, realizing that Fort Wayne was destined to be a trade center for a large territory with railroad facilities for reaching all points north, south, east, and west, Mr. Jones, in 1888, established a wholesale photographers' supply house, this being the only exclusive house of this character in Indiana, located at 44 Calhoun street, where he has an elegantly appointed sales-room with every convenience for handling his extensive stock of photographic goods which embraces every article used in photography, including cameras, lenses, burnishers, posing chairs and backgrounds. Mr. Jones makes a specialty of furnishing entire equipments for photo galleries. He is prepared also for printing card mounts, having in connection with his establishment a thoroughly equipped printing office. Mr. Jones also handles the wonderful Kodak detective cameras, as well as all goods connected with professional and amateur photography. The result has proven that Mr. Jones was not mistaken as his trade now extends over Ohio, Indiana, Illinois and Michigan, and is yearly reaching out in every direction. Being a practical photographer himself he can make it an inducement for the trade to patronize him, and in his prices he is as low as the lowest. When you are in Fort Wayne make your headquarters with Mr. Jones."

Fort Wayne Sentinel, 4 September 1902, p. 13 [Numerous bios of "Prosperous Retailers"]

M. L. Jones left for Definance, O., to day. He will also do other Ohio towns in the interest of his photographer's supply business, and will be absent the balance of the week.

ad for M. L. Jones Photographic Goods, Ft. Wayne
p. 146: paragraph in praise of "progressive hustler" M. L. Jones for good stock, fair treatment of customers, honest prices, promptness in filling orders.

Fort Wayne Sentinel, 2 Dec. 1901, p. 3
A Handsome Souvenir - One of the handsomest business souvenirs ever issued by any establishment in the city has just been put out by M. L. Jones, the photographic supply dealer. It is in the form of a book of large pages, is handsomely bound and has a superbly illuminated cover. As Mr. Jones as in his salutatory, it is not a catalogue. The contents of the book consist of large and splendidly executed half-tone illustrations of the Jones photographic supply house, showing beautiful interior and commodious quarters. Mr. Jones has the largest and finest establishment of the kind in the west and his handsome and expensive souvenir makes that fact clear, who otherwise may not know it.

Maurice L. Jones - Mr. Jones came to Fort Wayne in 1876 and opened a photograph gallery at 44 Calhoun street. In 1887 he commenced handiling photographic supplies and since that time has held first place in this part of Indiana for goods of this character. He is up-to-date in every sense of the word and it located at 112 (new number) West Wayne street, in a handsome building 20x150 feet and occupies two floors. Its handsome offices and work rooms are orderly and business like, and the stock rooms are full of well kept reliable goods, in perfect keeping with Mr. Jones' motto, "Up-to-Date in Everything." Direct from manufacturer to photographer, prices right, is the mainspring in this wheel of progress, and every day it rools out of here thousands of card mounts of the latest design and most elegant finish made exclusively for Mr. Jones' trade, besides there are kodaks, cameras and the thousand and one things that gladden the soul of the artist, amateur or professional. These is also a photographic button department, and its skilled workers are kept busy keeping up with its mail order business--a fact which attests its popularity. And as for home folks, Jones' is the place for developing and finishing amateur work, for skilled photographers are found here who take delight in aiding the beginner in every way possible. No matter what you want in this line, developing, finishing or photograrphic supplies of any kind, go to Jones and he will do the rest with a degree of promptness and fidelity that cannot but add your name to his already long list of pleased patrons. Remember that loyalty to Fort Wayne institutions is in fact loyalty to yourself, and the reward will come by swelling the ranks of well paid workers and finally be of benefit to evey home enterprise in our Industrial City.
