PRATT’S PHOTO STUDIO

[Welland Tribune, 30 August 1907]

             Welland now has a large up-to-date photo studio. One of the finest studios on the Niagara peninsula will be the new one to be opened in a short time in the Lundy block, which has a large addition in the rear; the whole of the second storey has been fitted up for a fine photo gallery. This has been built under the supervision of H.C. Pratt, and will be a model studio in many ways, both for the operators and comfort of patrons.

             Mr. Pratt, who has been conducting a studio at Crowland for over 4 years, has leased this new gallery and will move his business here and conduct a much larger portrait business. He has a large and growing portrait trade, made up not entirely of cabinets but enlarged portraits as well. A 20×24 enlarging camera for gas light and electric light, doing bromide, crayon and negative enlarging. Lately installed will form a part of his apparatus and it is his intention to employ a staff of workers after things get running. Mr. Pratt’s new studio will needless to say be equipped with everything new and up-to-date, apparatus the best on the market and the skylight equipped for day and night photography, being also fitted up to the large group photo size of 21×25- a size not found in many Canadian studios.
