"Frank Adair of Williamsport was here Tuesday. Mr. Adair is engaged in the photograph business in the above place and is an excellent workman."

Covington Republican August 23, 1901
"Come in and let's get acquainted and see what we have to offer you in the way of pictures all the way up-to-ate styles at Adairs. Covington & Williamsport"

Covington Republican, ? 1901
"The deal was closed Tuesday morning whereby Frank Adair, one of the country's best photographers, comes into possession of the Covington Art Studio, previously owned by A. Smock. Mr. Adair comes from Williamsport and Indianapolis and will be in personal charge from next Monday. He is a photographer out of sight on all up-to-date methods and will make a sitting and get a good picture. We welcome him to Covington because we know he is right."

St. Louis and Canadian Photographer, Oct. 1901, p. 477:
Frank Adair, of Williamsport, has bought the gallery of Alva Smock at Covington.

St. Louis and Canadian Photographer, v. 26, January 1902, p. 78
Alva Smock, of Covington, Ind., who succeeded A. McMaster, has sold out to a Mr. Adair, and moved to Indianapolis.

Covington Republican July 15, 1904
"Frank Adair, the popular photographer, has purchased the Blankeney Studio, 15 W Main Street, Danville, Ill and has taken charge. After a residence of two years here, during which he operated the gallery in this city most successfully, building up a trade and reputation second to none, he recently sold his business to Mr. John Lewellyn, who is now in charge and purchased the Danville, Ill studio. Mr. Adair's ability assures him success in his new and larger field because the classof work he turns out soon brings him a large and appreciative class of customers. Covington can ill afford to lose the class of business men to which Mr. Adair belongs."
